[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Illegal parking and stopping in the school zone in front of elementary schools in the Ulju area of Ulsan will now result in fines through resident reports.

On the 4th, Ulju-gun announced that it will officially implement the 'Resident Reporting System' for illegal parking and stopping in 31 school zones within the jurisdiction.

The fine imposed through resident reports is 80,000 KRW for passenger cars, which is twice the amount for general roads. The county had previously undergone an administrative notice and guidance period starting June 5.

Previously, since May last year, Ulju-gun imposed fines on illegally parked vehicles in four zones based on resident reports without enforcement by responsible officials.

Residents could report vehicles parked illegally around fire hydrants, bus stops, crosswalks, intersection corners, and sidewalks by taking at least two photos through the Safe Report app that clearly identify the violation area and vehicle number, meeting the reporting requirements.

Illegal parking violations in these four zones were accepted for reporting 24 hours a day. The newly added reporting target is vehicles parked on roads in front of elementary school main gates. The operating hours are weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., excluding weekends and public holidays.

An Ulju-gun official said, “With the addition of roads in front of elementary school main gates to the illegal parking resident reporting system, we expect it to be effective in preventing children's traffic accidents.”
