Originally, from this time to August is the representative holiday season in Korea. Even people who don’t drive usually rent a car and go on a trip to the mountains and the sea, thinking of a fun vacation.
The problem is that drivers who do not drive their vehicles on a regular basis often receive fines because they are not familiar with the traffic laws.
There are various cases of law violation, but the most common case of law violation is the case of using the shoulder of the road incorrectly.

In general, in the case of a highway, the width of a lane is wider than that of a general road for safety because the speed of vehicles is high. This is the same for shoulder roads, but on expressways, the width of shoulder roads is almost the same as that of normal downtown lanes so that accident vehicles or emergency vehicles can safely evacuate.
Driving on the shoulder of the road is strictly prohibited as it can lead to an even bigger accident if you run into a vehicle that is in an emergency stop while driving on the shoulder. As a result, legal sanctions against driving on the shoulder are also strict.

If you are caught driving on the shoulder of the road, you will be fined 60,000 won and 30 demerit points or fined 90,000 won based on a passenger car. In addition, vans are subject to a fine of 70,000 won and 30 demerit points or a fine of 100,000 won.
Of course, shoulder traffic is not always prohibited. Emergency vehicles or special-purpose vehicles put in for repair and maintenance of highways can pass on the shoulder, and in some cases, they are allowed according to signal instructions from traffic lights or police officers.

For reference, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has opened some highway roads in consideration of the traffic this summer holiday season. It was implemented from July 22nd to August 10th as part of special transportation measures during the summer vacation season. On the way to the East Coast, where there are many vacationers, two-way shoulder lanes are operated. During this period, you will not be fined 100,000 won even if you use the roadside as much as you like.

▶ (Seoul-Gangneung) Yeoju Jct∼Manjong Jct, Wonju Jct∼Wonju IC
In particular, kindly note that if the traffic flow is better on a national road than on a highway, a detour service is also provided to divert traffic.

Small car-only roads have been introduced on expressways with 4 to 6 round-trip lanes in recent years. By partially adjusting the width of the driving lane, the right shoulder area was also made to allow vehicles to run.
Unlike multi-lane expressways, this is a lane introduced to partially alleviate the frequent congestion on weekends or holiday seasons on expressways with two or three lanes on a one-way basis.
The small cars referred to on the small car road are as follows.
– Passenger cars: light, small, medium, and large passenger cars
– Van: Van with less than 15 passengers
– Truck: A truck with a maximum load of 1.5 tons or less and a total weight of 3.5 tons or less

We often use names such as compact, semi-medium, and mid-size as a standard for classifying vehicles, which is to classify vehicles based on displacement, and is different from the definition of compact cars on the dedicated road. In other words, when it is possible to pass on a small car-only road, it can be considered that it is okay for all vehicles to use the corresponding lane.
However, it is not always available. Available only when the green arrow is lit. If a red X is lit, the corresponding lane shall be regarded as closed.
If you use the road in violation of this, it is a signal violation. In accordance with Article 60 of the Traffic Act, passenger cars are subject to a fine of 60,000 won and 15 points or a fine of 70,000 won, and vans are subject to a fine of 70,000 won, 15 points or a fine of 80,000 won.
