Preventing Parking Vehicle Slip Accidents in Advance

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] Anti-slip devices such as wheel chocks and warning signs for slippery conditions will be installed in sloped parking lots to prevent vehicle slip accidents.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 24th, the Parking Lot Act Enforcement Rules have been revised and will be enforced from the 25th, following the amendment of the Parking Lot Act (known as the Hajun Law) on December 24 last year to strengthen safety management of sloped parking lots.

According to the revised enforcement rules, the installation of anti-slip devices such as wheel chocks and cautionary warning signs is mandatory in sloped parking lots. Additionally, newly established off-street and attached parking lots with more than 400 parking spaces must install pedestrian safety facilities such as speed bumps and stop lines.

Mayors, county governors, and district heads are required to conduct guidance and inspections of sloped parking lots at least once a year and carry out safety management status surveys every three years. Mechanical parking lots must also display the types of vehicles that can be parked.

Accordingly, not only newly created parking lots but also existing sloped parking lots must, in principle, install wheel chocks by December 26 to prevent slipping. In cases where parking is inevitably difficult due to fixed wheel chocks, alternative wheel chocks or similar devices must be provided.
