Sacheon City Hall, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sacheon City in Gyeongnam Province will conduct frequent crackdowns on illegal parking and parking obstruction in disabled-only parking spaces in apartments within the city, including newly built apartments.

According to the city, cases of fines being imposed due to illegal parking and parking obstruction in disabled-only parking spaces in apartments located within the city have occurred, so enforcement will be strengthened.

This crackdown is being carried out to alleviate inconveniences and resolve complaints related to parking lot use by disabled persons with mobility difficulties.

The targets of the crackdown include parking in disabled parking spaces by vehicles without parking permits, double parking in disabled parking spaces, and cases where vehicles with parking permits do not have a person with walking disabilities on board. Additionally, placing objects in disabled parking spaces and encroachment (striped area encroachment) are also subject to enforcement.

Violations will incur fines of 100,000 KRW for illegal parking, 500,000 KRW for parking obstruction, and 2,000,000 KRW for illegal use of parking permits.

Reports of illegal parking in disabled-only zones through the Mobile Safety Report app exceed 800 cases annually.

A city official stated, “We hope that a mature civic culture that considers the disabled will take deep root in our city, fostering warm neighborly affection and making it a city where everyone can live well.”
