Jung-gu Conducts Intensive 3-Week Crackdown on Illegal Parking and Stopping in School Zones
Strict Non-Tolerance Principle Applied to Violating Vehicles: Fines Imposed and Towing Measures
Illegal Parking and Stopping Fine for Passenger Cars: 120,000 KRW
Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Kim Gil-seong) will conduct an intensive crackdown on illegal parking and stopping in school zones starting from the 28th to prevent pedestrian safety accidents involving children.
This crackdown will be carried out jointly by the district office and the Namdaemun and Jungbu Police Stations for three weeks. To encourage voluntary compliance with regulations by residents, the district will provide information about the intensive crackdown through its social networking services (SNS) and unmanned surveillance cameras (CCTV) electronic display boards. The crackdown will cover all school zones. Vehicles violating the rules will be subject to strict penalties, including fines and towing.
Parking and stopping are completely prohibited in school zones to prevent accidents caused by vehicles obstructing the view of children and drivers. Illegal parking or stopping will result in fines three times higher than those on general roads (120,000 KRW for passenger cars, 130,000 KRW for vans).
The district is continuously conducting campaigns to prevent safety accidents in school zones and is expanding safety facilities. In June, pedestrian safety campaigns for children were held at four elementary schools in the district. Next month, protective fences in four school zones will be repaired.
