If Non-Disabled Park in Gangnam-gu, a 'Warning Sound' and a 100,000 Won Fine Will Be Imposed
17 Public Parking Lots to Fully Implement 'ICT Disabled Parking Zones' in February... 93% Reduction Effect During Four-Month Pilot Operation
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has established an ‘ICT (Information and Communication Technology) Real-Time Management System for Disabled Parking Zones’ that emits warning sounds when non-disabled vehicles enter and imposes a fine of 100,000 KRW for violations at 93 parking spaces across 17 public parking lots in the district, and has been operating it in full scale since this month.
Built in September last year to enhance disabled parking and mobility convenience, this system integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with the administrative information network to automatically detect illegally parked vehicles while enforcing regulations through warning sounds and announcement broadcasts.
To minimize confusion among residents caused by the newly implemented enforcement, the district conducted a pilot operation from October last year to January this year and sent notices to owners of illegally parked vehicles. During this period, out of 1,751 vehicles that attempted illegal parking, 1,622 (93%) immediately moved their vehicles after hearing the warning announcements, demonstrating a preventive effect.
The district plans to add 30 more parking spaces within this year after consultations with 22 community service centers.
