[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, conducted an inspection to enforce the proper use of parking spaces designated for the disabled in collaboration with the Center for the Promotion of Convenience Technology for the Disabled.

According to the county on the 30th, this inspection was organized to raise public awareness through promotion and guidance in response to the increase in illegal parking violations in disabled-only parking spaces.

The county focused the inspection on habitual violation areas such as Hanaro Mart and the terminal surroundings, checking for illegal parking in disabled-only parking spaces, improper use of parking permits, and acts obstructing parking.

Additionally, through reports of daily inconveniences via platforms like the National Sinmungo, 270 fines were imposed as of 2021.

The fine standards for violations in disabled-only parking spaces are as follows: ▲ Illegal parking - 100,000 KRW ▲ Parking obstruction - 500,000 KRW (such as stacking objects within or around disabled-only parking spaces, or obstructing the use of two or more designated parking spaces) ▲ Improper use of disabled parking permits - 2,000,000 KRW.

A county official stated regarding this public-private joint inspection, “We hope that people recognize that parking in disabled-only parking spaces without a valid disabled parking permit is illegal, and that raising awareness about such illegal acts will help establish a proper parking culture.”
