Ulsan, Serious Trouble if You Park a Car in a Child Protection Zone

Residents Face Fines of 80,000 to 90,000 Won Even with Just a Report

Ulsan City Hall building. In Ulsan, from now on, illegal parking in school zones will result in fines based solely on citizen reports.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] In Ulsan, illegal parking or stopping in school zones will lead to serious consequences.

Ulsan City announced on the 12th that it will officially implement a resident reporting system for illegal parking and stopping in school zones starting June 29.

There are a total of 342 school zones in Ulsan, including 187 elementary schools (including attached kindergartens), 96 kindergartens, 56 daycare centers, and 3 special schools.

The resident reporting system for illegal parking and stopping, which has been in operation since May last year for fire hydrants, sidewalks, intersection corners, bus stops, and crosswalk surroundings, will now be expanded to include 'school zones.'

The resident reporting system imposes fines based solely on citizen reports without on-site inspections by enforcement officers. Reports can be made through the 'Safe Report App' provided by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

If a vehicle illegally parked on the road in front of an elementary school main gate is reported by taking two photos at the same location at one-minute intervals using the Safe Report App, a fine of 80,000 KRW for passenger cars and 90,000 KRW for vans will be imposed.

Enforcement hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. The city plans to issue warning notices during the guidance period from June 29 to July 31, and fines will be applied starting from reports received on August 3.

An official from Ulsan City said, “We ask for active cooperation from citizens so that a proper parking culture can be established for the safety of children and all citizens.”
