[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] On the first day of the implementation of the ‘Illegal Parking and Stopping Resident Reporting System in Children Protection Zones’ on the 3rd, reports continued in the Gwangju area.

According to the five autonomous districts of Gwangju Metropolitan City on the 4th, a total of 22 reports were received in one day as the resident reporting system for illegal parking and stopping in children protection zones was fully implemented from the previous day.

Dong-gu 0 cases, Seo-gu 7 cases, Nam-gu 1 case, Buk-gu 12 cases, Gwangsan-gu 2 cases.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety operated a one-month guidance period for system promotion and began full implementation from the 3rd.

To report, press ‘Safety Report’ in the Safe Report app, select the report type as ‘Children Protection Zone,’ and send two identical photos of the vehicle’s front or rear taken at one-minute intervals through the app.

The photos must include the vehicle number plate and signs or road markings confirming it is a children protection zone.

The resident reporting system operates from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays excluding weekends and holidays, and illegal parking and stopping in the four prohibited zones within children protection zones?crosswalks, within 5 meters of fire facilities, within 10 meters of bus stops, and within 5 meters of intersection corners?can be reported 24 hours a day year-round.

A fine of 80,000 KRW will be imposed on the reported vehicles.

An official from one autonomous district said, “It seems that the number of reports is not high yet because the resident reporting system has not been sufficiently promoted,” adding, “Once fines start to be imposed and citizens become more aware, the number of reports is expected to increase, which will greatly help eradicate illegal parking and stopping in school zones.”
