Seoul City Launches 'Automatic Notification Service' for Entry and Exit of Overdue Vehicles at 99 Public Parking Lots... Enforcement Efficiency Up↑

Automatic Vehicle Number Verification at Entry - Mobile Automatic Notification for Vehicles Subject to Impoundment, Real-Time Support System Established
Parallel to Direct Enforcement by Officers... Enforcement of Uninsured, Inspection-Overdue, and Fine-Delinquent Vehicles

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 3rd that starting from the 4th, it will implement an automatic entry and exit notification service for delinquent vehicles at 99 public parking lots within Seoul. When a vehicle subject to license plate seizure enters a public parking lot, Seoul City enforcement officers and the relevant district authorities will be automatically notified.

The detailed procedure is as follows: when a vehicle enters a public parking lot, the license plate recognition device (camera) installed in the parking lot identifies the vehicle number. If the vehicle is confirmed to be subject to seizure, information such as the parking lot, vehicle number, and entry time is sent via SMS to Seoul City and the relevant district enforcement officers to support prompt and accurate license plate seizure.

Until now, enforcement officers had to patrol on foot or by vehicle to directly find vehicles subject to seizure, which limited the efficiency of the seizure operations. However, from now on, when a vehicle subject to seizure uses a public parking lot, its location can be automatically detected, which is expected to improve operational efficiency.

The city plans to continue promoting this delinquent vehicle entry and exit notification service at public parking lots to contribute to ensuring citizen safety and establishing traffic order. In particular, it will also provide various notifications to restrict the operation of vehicles without mandatory insurance or those that have not undergone regular inspections or checks, encouraging these vehicles to take safety measures.

Meanwhile, citizens planning to use public parking lots can check in advance whether their vehicle is delinquent through the Seoul City ‘Vehicle License Plate Seizure Simple Civil Service’ website.

Baek Ho, Director of the Seoul City Urban Transportation Office, said, “Through the introduction of this notification service, we expect not only to efficiently carry out illegal enforcement tasks but also to expand opportunities for law-abiding taxpayers to use public parking lots. We will strive to establish a proper parking and traffic culture that enhances compliance awareness and citizen safety.”
