Ulsan Cheongnyang Interchange: 1 Million Won Fine for Littering

Prohibition Sign in Habitual Illegal Dumping Area

Throwing away trash carelessly can cost you up to 1 million won!

Six anti-littering signs have been installed along the roadside at Cheongnyang Interchange (IC) in Ulsan.

This area undergoes regular environmental maintenance, but illegal dumping of trash has not been eradicated, causing continuous complaints. The connecting ramp sections are places where drivers often throw away trash due to limited visibility from outside.

The Ulsan City General Construction Headquarters installed signs at six locations on the Cheongnyang IC ramp sections to eliminate illegal roadside dumping.

Six locations where no littering signs have been installed.

On May 4th, additional workers were deployed to collect trash, fallen leaves, and remove branches along the Cheongnyang Interchange roadside to provide a clean image for visitors coming to Ulsan for various events and festivals in May and June, conducting environmental maintenance.

Lee Hyung-woo, head of the General Construction Headquarters, said, “We expect the installation of the anti-littering signs to improve the awareness of road users and enhance the roadside environment,” adding, “We plan to carry out continuous inspections and maintenance to maintain a safe and clean road environment, and we ask for the active interest of citizens.”
