Iksan City, "Please Keep Disabled Parking Spaces Clear~"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] Iksan City is focusing on promotional activities requesting citizens' cooperation as the number of reports of violations in parking spaces designated for the disabled has significantly increased.

According to the city on the 22nd, the number of reports of violations in disabled parking spaces was 2,366 in 2017, 4,877 in 2018, and 7,067 in 2019, showing a steep upward trend each year.

This is largely attributed to the simplified reporting procedure for violations in disabled parking spaces through the Life Inconvenience Reporting app.

For reports of violations in disabled parking spaces received through the National E-People system, the person in charge verifies the violation and imposes fines on the vehicle owners.

Parking violations incur a fine of 100,000 KRW, and parking obstruction acts that directly or indirectly block disabled parking spaces and hinder parking and movement incur a fine of 500,000 KRW. If payment is made voluntarily during the 14-day period for submitting opinions, a 20% reduction is applied.

Analysis of violation cases showed that the most frequent violations were temporary parking in disabled parking spaces in apartment complexes and public places.

Other cases included installing or leaving cargo for events in disabled parking spaces, parking without a registered disabled person, and parking at night within apartment complexes.

A city official stated, “Disabled parking spaces cannot be parking spaces for non-disabled people, and we hope citizens understand and cooperate that these spaces must be observed not only as consideration for the disabled but also as a social obligation.”
