The committee had also conducted joint crackdowns on illegal activities such as motorcycle noise twice during the day and night in May and June on Namsan Sowol-ro. Sowol-ro is frequently visited by street racers with sports cars, threatening the safety of nearby residents, and at night, the loud noise from motorcycles disrupts sleep, leading Seoul City and others to decide that focused crackdowns are necessary.


This crackdown was carried out for about two hours from 8 PM to 10 PM, during which a total of five cases, including illegal modifications of motorcycle mufflers and lighting devices, were detected and administrative actions were taken.


The Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee has been intensively conducting crackdowns on illegal acts such as noise generation by motorcycles in cooperation with related organizations this year. In the second half of the year, surprise joint crackdowns will be conducted mainly in areas with heavy motorcycle traffic to contribute to creating a ‘quiet Seoul road free of motorcycle noise.’



Kim Hak-bae, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee, stated, “Illegal acts by motorcycles such as noise generation and reckless driving are serious social problems that directly threaten the peaceful daily lives and safety of Seoul citizens and must be resolved.” He added, “We ask motorcycle riders to refrain from illegal acts such as noise generation, reckless driving, and signal violations with consideration for their families and neighbors, and to participate in fostering a culture of safety.”
