[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) will implement a resident reporting system for illegal parking and stopping in school zones to ensure children's traffic safety starting August 3.

This resident reporting system for illegal parking and stopping in school zones expands the existing reporting targets to include areas such as crosswalks, within 10 meters of bus stops, within 5 meters of intersection corners, and within 5 meters of fire hydrants.

With the expansion of the resident reporting system, from August 3, if a vehicle is reported for parking or stopping in the double yellow line zones around the main entrances of 23 elementary schools designated as school zones, fines can be imposed without the need for on-site inspection by enforcement officers.

The double yellow line zones on main school routes in Jungnang-gu include ▲ Geumseong Elementary School intersection to the entrance of Sinnae 6 Complex on Sinnae-ro 21-gil ▲ Songnim-gil intersection to the back gate of Ihwa Media High School on Mangu-ro 81-gil ▲ west side of Mangu Elementary School on Mangu-ro 72-gil ▲ west gate of Myeonnam Elementary School to the intersection of Sagajeong-ro 54-gil on Myeonmok-ro 36-gil, totaling 23 locations within the district.

To report, residents can submit at least two photos taken from the same angle at one-minute intervals that clearly identify the violation location and vehicle number via the Seoul Smart Complaint, Life Complaint, or Safety Report apps between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays.

Jungnang-gu Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi said, “Despite recent amendments and enforcement of the Road Traffic Act, traffic safety accidents continue to occur in school zones,” adding, “We hope this resident reporting system will serve as an opportunity to eradicate illegal parking and stopping so that our children can safely attend school.”

The district plans to have a guidance period until July 31, during which vehicles reported for illegal parking or stopping in school zones will receive guidance notices, and banners will be installed in the double yellow line zones.
