Yangcheon-gu Installs Anti-Slip Wheel Stoppers on Sloped Parking Spaces

Comprehensive Survey of Sloped Parking Lots at Risk of Slip Accidents... Fixed Wheel Stops (Castoppers) Installed on 51 Spaces with Slopes of 4% or More

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) has installed fixed wheel stoppers (car stoppers) to prevent vehicle slipping in 51 priority parking spaces for residents on slopes.

According to Article 6, Paragraph 3 of the Parking Lot Act, enacted on June 25 (known as the 'Hajun Law'), anti-slip devices must be mandatorily installed in sloped parking lots to prevent accidents caused by parked vehicles slipping.

Accordingly, the district installed fixed wheel stoppers (car stoppers) to secure vehicles parked on slopes, preventing accidents caused by vehicle slipping, thereby protecting the property and lives of residents. In the first half of this year, a full safety inspection survey was conducted on sloped parking lots in areas at risk of slipping accidents.

As a result of the survey, fixed wheel stoppers (car stoppers) were installed in a total of 51 sloped priority parking spaces for residents in Mok-dong and Sinjeong-dong, where the slope was judged to require installation at 4% or more.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “We are making every effort to ensure safety management to minimize accidents through the installation of anti-slip facilities,” and added, “We ask drivers to take special care by always applying the parking brake and turning the steering wheel toward the roadside when parking on sloped parking lots to prevent heartbreaking accidents.”
