Mayor okays midnight riding pilot on the Gwangan coastal road
From December through March, riders get a coned-off eastbound lane between 23:00–02:00 while resurfacing takes place.
Nov 7, 2025
Impact Expect 3 km of temporary bike priority with live sensor counts.
The city will mill and resurface the eastbound lane of Gwangan coastal road this winter. Instead of shutting the corridor completely, the mayor approved a rider-first pilot that finally mirrors the overnight lane requests we’ve been filing.
- Timing: 23:00–02:00 daily, 1 December 2025–31 March 2026.
- Stretch: Samick Apartment bus stop → Millak raw fish center (3 km).
- Surface: Fresh asphalt nightly, sweeping before the lane reopens to cars.
Rules we negotiated
- Helmets and one white + one red light are mandatory. Police will perform soft checks during the first week only.
- Maximum group size is eight riders. Larger crews must split with two-minute gaps.
- No music speakers—residents win the noise argument if we mess this up.
Data we will publish
The city is mounting LIDAR counters on the cones. We will ingest the live numbers into the Cycling Busan dashboard so you can prove demand when the pilot ends.
See you under the bridge. Bring an extra layer—the sea breeze cuts hard at 30 km/h.
