Which statement about prohibiting or restricting road traffic and measures to ease congestion is NOT correct?
Bans or restrictions on passage can be imposed by the Commissioner of the Metropolitan/Provincial Police Agency and the chief of a police station, and measures to relieve congestion can be taken by police officers (Articles 6 and 7 of the Road Traffic Act). Along with each authority's power, check the procedure required when imposing a ban or restriction (Article 6(3)).
Answer: ①
Explanation
Article 6(3) of the Road Traffic Act requires the metropolitan/provincial police commissioner or police station chief to give public notice under the Ordinance of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety when prohibiting or restricting traffic, so saying no notice is needed is wrong. Designating sections by the commissioner (Article 6(1)), restricting first and consulting later by the station chief (Article 6(2)), and congestion-easing measures by police officers (Article 7) are all in the Act.
