Gyeonggi-do Holds Meeting on Illegal Overnight Parking of Freight Trucks

Truck Illegal Overnight Parking Meeting

Gyeonggi Province held a meeting on the 28th to address the issue of illegal overnight parking of cargo trucks.

At the meeting, the province shared updates on related initiatives from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and introduced the province's direction for creating parking spaces.

Based on the results of identifying the status of cargo truck parking lots registered in 31 cities and counties, the province emphasized the need to establish highly utilized parking lots near actual residences. The number of cargo trucks registered in the province is 141,000. Among them, 82,000 are cargo trucks over 1.5 tons required to have designated parking lots.

The province also listened to the current status of parking space creation in cities and counties, cases of ordinance enactment, and suggestions and difficulties regarding the shortage of parking lots from association officials and local governments.

The association requested that parking lots be created by identifying national and public land and idle land of public institutions in areas with high demand from truck owners, and that roads with low nighttime traffic be designated as overnight parking zones by ordinance.

Ko Byung-su, Director of the Logistics and Ports Division of the province, emphasized, "Currently, the province supports the creation of public parking lots in cities and counties, actively encourages the establishment of cargo truck-only parking lots when new logistics complexes are developed, and is working to secure insufficient parking lots by identifying idle national and public land."
