Yeongdeungpo-gu Takes Initiative to Guide Parking Order for Senior and Child Safety

Illegal Parking Enforcement Around Elementary Schools and Child Protection Zones Until December This Year
12 Times Monthly, Morning and Afternoon Shifts... Perfect Protection for Children’s Safety on Their Way to and from School
Over 116,000 Cases Addressed Last Year... Ongoing Efforts to Establish a Mature Parking Culture

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it is making efforts to create jobs for the elderly in the community and protect children's safety through the 'Senior Citizens Parking Order Guidance Activity' project.

This project aims to prevent traffic accidents caused by illegal parking and stopping, and to establish a proper parking order culture. Additionally, by linking with job creation projects, it provides opportunities for social participation for senior citizens, expecting to enhance their pride and create jobs.

The activity period is about 10 months from March to December, and this year, around 180 senior citizens will participate in the project.

Participants work in pairs, forming teams of two, with activity cycles of 12 times per month, excluding weekends and public holidays. Working hours are flexibly operated, divided into morning (8 AM to 10 AM) and afternoon (1 PM to 3 PM) shifts.

The main working locations are around elementary schools and child protection zones, where they guide illegally parked vehicles to prevent traffic accidents and ensure children's safety on their way to and from school.

Last year, the district resolved a total of 116,413 parking-related issues (an average of 11,641 cases per month) through active guidance activities such as vehicle relocation, doing its best to establish a mature parking culture awareness among residents.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, "This activity is a win-win project that creates jobs for senior citizens while protecting children's safety," and added, "We will continue to strive to create a safe and happy Yeongdeungpo-gu by linking various projects to help residents establish a proper parking culture."
