Gwangju Nam-gu Installs 'LED Electronic Display Boards' in Odd-Even Parking Zones

Built in 3 Locations Including Baegundong Meokja Alley and Yangnim-dong by Year-End

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) has decided to proceed with the installation of LED electronic signboards indicating the odd-even parking system in three locations within the district by the end of this year, due to the continuous illegal parking despite the implementation of the odd-even parking system in the alley commercial revitalization areas.

On the 5th, Nam-gu announced that it will carry out the installation of LED electronic signboards for the odd-even parking system in two areas: Baegundong Food Alley and the Yangnim-dong area, to resolve illegal parking and revitalize local alley commercial districts.

The locations where the odd-even parking system LED electronic signboards will be installed include a 570m section near Seoksan High School in Baegundong, from Woomi Charcoal Grilled Ribs to in front of Gwangju Daeseong Church; a 500m section along Cheonbyeon Jwaro in Yangnim-dong where Dwingul Donggul is located; and a 170m section near Yangnim-dong Christian Hospital, from Sodam Rice Cake Shop to in front of Yangin Bakery, totaling three locations.

Among these, the Cheonbyeon Jwaro section in Yangnim-dong is a flexible lane operation zone where parking is allowed from 9 PM on weekdays until 6 AM the next day, and parking is permitted at all times on weekends and public holidays.

Nam-gu plans to carry out the LED electronic signboard installation work from this month until early December and will immediately begin operating the signboards thereafter.

Enforcement against illegal parking in this area will also be strengthened.

Nam-gu expects that with the installation of the odd-even parking system LED electronic signboards, drivers will be fully aware that parking is only allowed on one side depending on whether the date is odd or even.

Nevertheless, drivers who illegally park will be considered to have acted intentionally and will be immediately fined for parking violations. To maintain smooth traffic flow and revitalize alley commercial districts, mobile enforcement vehicles will be used to frequently crack down on illegally parked vehicles.

A Nam-gu official said, “Previously, the odd-even system was simply communicated through signs, but once this project is completed, the LED electronic signboards with excellent visibility day and night will provide guidance, so we expect a significant reduction in illegal parking.”
