[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) has launched a campaign to reduce residents' confusion following the implementation of the ‘Safe Speed 5030’ policy.

‘Safe Speed 5030’ was implemented on the 17th of last month. This traffic policy was introduced under the revised Road Traffic Act to reduce the likelihood of traffic accidents and ensure pedestrian safety.

On arterial roads with wide lanes, the speed limit has been reduced from the previous 60km/h to 50km/h, and on side streets where traffic flow is not hindered, a speed limit of 30km/h is applied.

Before the policy was enforced, Guro-gu replaced road surface markings and traffic signs with 5030 indicators along 89.3 km of major roads managed by the district last year.

Additionally, promotional materials containing related information were distributed to community service centers.

From the 11th of this month, fines for illegal parking and stopping in school zones have also been increased. The fine for passenger cars rose from 80,000 KRW to 120,000 KRW, and for vans from 90,000 KRW to 130,000 KRW, an increase of 40,000 KRW each.

To alleviate residents' inconvenience caused by vehicle enforcement, Guro-gu provides a text alert service for illegal parking enforcement.

This service captures vehicles subject to enforcement through fixed and mobile CCTV installed in enforcement zones and sends a text message to the driver advising them to move their vehicle. If the vehicle does not move within 10 minutes of the capture time, enforcement action is taken.

Those wishing to use the service can access it through the comprehensive civil service section on the district office website. Detailed information is available through the district office’s Parking Management Division.

Guro-gu is providing information about the revised Road Traffic Act through its website, newsletters, blogs, and social media channels.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We ask for your participation in ‘Safe Speed 5030’ to establish a safe road traffic culture,” and added, “We will do our best to minimize residents’ inconvenience caused by the policy implementation.”
