[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do recently conducted a special nighttime crackdown on business vehicles and construction machinery illegally parked overnight along roads in residential areas such as apartments and housing complexes, catching a total of 26 vehicles (10 trucks, 2 buses, 14 construction machines).

According to the county on the 10th, this crackdown targeted residential areas with frequent complaints, focusing on business vehicles (trucks, buses) and construction machinery illegally parked for more than one hour outside their registered parking lots from midnight until 4 a.m. the following day.

Illegal overnight parking of business vehicles and construction machinery not only causes living inconveniences such as noise and exhaust complaints in nearby residential areas but also obstructs the visibility of other drivers and pedestrians, leading to vehicle collisions and pedestrian accidents. Therefore, the need for enforcement to prevent safety accidents has been continuously raised.

In response, Yeongam-gun formed its own enforcement team and has been steadily conducting guidance activities to eradicate illegal overnight parking of business vehicles and construction machinery.

A county official stated, “Fines ranging from 50,000 to 300,000 KRW are imposed on construction machinery illegally parked overnight depending on the number of violations, and business vehicles (trucks, buses) caught illegally parked overnight are subject to administrative measures (operation suspension) or fines.”
