Gwangju City to Conduct Special Overnight Parking Crackdown Outside Freight Vehicle Garages Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 28th that next month, it will conduct a joint special crackdown on illegal overnight parking of commercial cargo trucks in cooperation with the five autonomous districts, the National Police Agency, and the Freight Association.

Until now, the autonomous districts have regularly enforced crackdowns on illegal overnight parking, focusing on areas with high vehicle traffic such as traffic accident-prone zones, areas with frequent complaints, apartment complexes, and residential back roads.

This intensive crackdown is a joint operation aimed at eradicating illegal overnight parking of cargo trucks. The targets are cargo trucks illegally parked overnight outside of designated parking lots on roadsides near apartments and residential areas, causing traffic obstruction, large-scale traffic accidents, noise, and other inconveniences to residents.

Cargo trucks caught illegally parked overnight outside of designated parking lots from midnight to 4 a.m. will face administrative penalties under the Cargo Truck Transportation Act, including suspension of operation for 3 to 5 days or fines ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 KRW.

Park Gap-su, head of the city's Transportation Policy Division, said, “We will continue to enforce crackdowns to eradicate illegal overnight parking of cargo trucks that cause traffic accidents and nighttime traffic inconvenience,” and added, “We hope that freight vehicle operators will actively cooperate by parking in reported parking lots so that a safe traffic culture can be established.”
