An agility game
on the wheel
When you are in a congested area while driving, you start to feel uneasy. Whenever you are approaching a road notorious for "turtle" speed, you may join the congestion "nightmare". But if you are a skillful driver, you can use the trick of choosing a detour based on predicting which road will have heavy traffic. You will soon realize that many drivers think about the same alternatives as your. To solve this daily headache, T map analyzed the traffic data from main cities and detected the sections and time range with high congestion. If you pay attention to this data, the probability of failure to arrived on time will surely decrease.
Strategies to deal with Bridges over the Han River
At present, there are 31 bridges crossing the Han River. They connect Gangbuk with Gangnam, linking many corners of Seoul. Considering that the river has a width of about 1km, it will take only a few minutes to cross by car. However, during commuting time, that is a whole different story.
Guess which bridge out of these 31 was the most stressful for drivers during the commuting time. The answer is the Gayang Bridge connecting Gangseo-gu with Mapo-gu. This is the bridge that makes full-time workers complain the most during commuting time. In particular, around 8 am, the traffic speed slows down to 9.36km per hour causing serious congestion. Moreover, Seongsu Bridge and Yeongdong Bridge cannot avoid this repeated "traffic headache" every morning either. On the other hand, on Gayang Bridge and Cheongdam Bridge, congestion starts early in the morning. From 7 am, cars are crawling like turtles or snails. If you have to pass by these two bridges, we advise you to leave your house earlier than usual to be free from heavy traffic.
Hangang Bridges on the way home from work in the evening become more congested than on the way to work in the morning. Every section shows the same phenomenon in that traffic of the evening time slows down compared to that of the morning time, and this seems to be attributable to traffic volume concentrated at 6 pm.
Moreover, the Bridges linked to Gangnam-gu such as Seongsu Bridge, Banpo Bridge and Yeongdong Bridge are highly congested during the evening time. If you need to move from Gangnam to another zone, try to avoid the peak hour of congestion when everyone is going back home. This will help you save most time. Hangang Bridge, being the first bridge built over the Han River, is one of the heavily-traveled bridges. Congestion occurs with frequency and the traffic volume is constantly on the rise even after morning rush hour. At 1 pm, the traffic speed drops to 10km per hour. Since congestion starts again from 5 pm, it is advisable to make a detour if you have to cross Hangang Bridge during the evening time when people move from work to home.

Seoul, a byword for a "turtle road"
In Seoul with a large population and many cars as a result, we can easily find congestion almost everywhere. In particular, Boramae-ro is literally a "turtle road" with the mean speed of 4.5km per hour at around 6 pm, which coincides with the time in which people go back home from work. The second slowest roads are Gangnam-daero and Bongeunsa-ro where heavy traffic takes place between 10 am and noon, which has nothing to do with commuting time. Toegye-ro and Cheonggyecheon-ro traversing Jung-gu join the turtle race, with the mean speed of 7.5km and 7.7km, respectively, during the heaviest traffic times.

Moreover, a high traffic volume is registered in both Eulsukdo-daero and Nakdongnam-ro. since that high congestion is observed in this area during the commuting time, we can confirm that many people move to work towards Saha-gu where the industrial complex is located.

The main factor of congestion in Daegu? That is apartment complexes
While the congestion in most cities happen near downtown or industrial complexes, Daegu presents a different phenomenon. Curiously, congestion mainly occurred around large-scale apartment complexes. In particular, in Jincheon-ro, the speed of cars slackens at the intersection between one complex and another, making the place the heaviest congestion area during commuting time.

In Gwangju, cars gather where people gather
In Gwangju, congestion occurs at every corner of the city between 5 and 6 pm. The slowest road, Dongnip-ro passes through Gwangju Station. Hoeseo-ro, penetrating through the apartment complexes, Seomun-daero and Seonam-daero close to the university district, is also a congested area with the mean speed of approximately 11km per hour. Considering the nature of such places, it is interpreted that apartment complexes and the university district become congested when people flock together. From a similar context, we can also see why Jabong-ro, concentrated on department stores, banks and hospitals, becomes heavily congested.

In Daejeon, avoid downtown and peripheral areas!
In Daejeon, congestion is concentrated on the central area of the city.

Along with Jungang-ro, both roads belong to the central part of Daejeon. On the other hand, congestion forms in the peripheral areas. Observing that traffic becomes heavy at 8 am on Songnim-ro and Yuseong-daero near Sejong City, we can guess that many people move every day from one city to another.
