Hwasun-gun to Conduct 'Special Inspection of Vehicle Emissions' Until March Next Year

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeollanam-do Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 10th that from this month until the end of March next year, it will conduct a "Special Crackdown on Vehicle Idling and Emission of Operating Vehicles" to maximize the reduction of fine dust.

The county plans to crack down on emissions from large vehicles such as trucks and buses, which have a high proportion of fine dust emissions, as well as vehicles idling for more than 2 minutes in restricted idling areas such as the Hwasun-eup Intercity Bus Terminal and Hyangcheong-ri Public Parking Lot.

For vehicles exceeding the emission standards as a result of the crackdown, the county plans to recommend vehicle inspection and maintenance for improvement, and for vehicles violating the idling restrictions, a fine will be imposed upon repeated violations after the first warning.

A county official said, "We ask for the voluntary cooperation of residents in reducing vehicle emissions to lower fine dust by maintaining their vehicles and practicing eco-friendly driving."
