Sejong City Intensifies Crackdown on Reckless Driving and Traffic Violations by Two-Wheeled Vehicles

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City will intensively crack down on reckless driving and traffic violations by motorcycle riders.

The city announced on the 24th that it will conduct joint motorcycle crackdowns in cooperation with the Sejong Police Agency and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority.

The crackdown is being promoted considering that chronic illegal acts such as riding motorcycles on sidewalks, ignoring traffic signals, and illegal tuning pose threats to pedestrians and other drivers on the road.

Earlier, since the 5th, the city conducted focused crackdowns in cooperation with related organizations in areas with a high concentration of academies such as Areum-dong, Jongchon-dong, Dajeong-dong, and Boram-dong, as well as in Naseong-dong, where motorcycle accidents frequently occur.

Through this, 43 violations including riding on sidewalks, signal violations, failure to attach license plates, and illegal tuning were detected, and fines and penalties were imposed on the drivers.

Lee Sang-ok, head of the city's Traffic Policy Division, said, “We will continue to conduct crackdowns by region, time, and type until the practice of disregarding traffic laws by motorcycle riders is eradicated.”
