[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 16th that it will operate a resident reporting system for illegal parking in school zones starting from the 29th to eradicate illegal parking in elementary school children protection zones.

The resident reporting system is expected to help protect children by eliminating causes of traffic accidents in advance, amid the significant strengthening of traffic accident punishment standards in children protection zones following the implementation of the Min-sik Act.

The enforcement area covers roads from the main gate of elementary schools to intersections with other roads, and anyone can report illegal parking on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

To report, use the Safe Report app to ▲take two or more photos from the same location showing the violation area and vehicle license plate clearly ▲ensure the photos show the shooting time and are taken at intervals of at least one minute ▲press the location finder to confirm the address is correct, then submit to complete the report.

After verification of the reported vehicles, fines of 80,000 KRW for passenger cars and 90,000 KRW for vans will be imposed.

To prevent confusion, a guidance period will be operated until the end of July, and fines will be imposed starting August 3.

In particular, the four major illegal parking areas ? within 5 meters of fire extinguishing facilities, within 5 meters of intersection corners, within 10 meters of bus stops, and on crosswalks ? will be monitored 24 hours a day throughout the year.

A Haenam-gun official stated, “We ask for the interest and voluntary cooperation of many residents to eradicate illegal parking in children protection zones.”
