Gwangju Police Agency and Autonomous Police Committee Jointly Crack Down on Two-Wheeler Traffic Violations

The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency and the Gwangju Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 19th that they will conduct joint crackdowns on motorcycle traffic violations together with traffic police, local governments, and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority on the 20th.

On the 18th, a fatal traffic accident involving a motorcycle violating traffic lane rules occurred, and with the recent warmer weather leading to increased outdoor activities, the risk of traffic accidents has also risen.

Accordingly, to prevent traffic accidents and alleviate citizen inconvenience, strict enforcement will be carried out against motorcycles violating regulations such as noise and illegal modifications.

In particular, through joint crackdowns, violations of the Road Traffic Act will result in fines, exceeding the motorcycle noise standard of 105dB will incur penalties, and illegal modifications will be subject to criminal punishment.

The Gwangju Police Agency and the Gwangju Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee will not stop there, but will conduct continuous joint enforcement with the Korea Transportation Safety Authority and local governments against illegal motorcycle activities that cause inconvenience to citizens.

A representative of the Gwangju Police Agency stated, "Through this crackdown, we will resolve the inconvenience caused to citizens by illegal motorcycles, raise awareness of traffic law violations, and do our best to eradicate illegal motorcycle activities and secure peaceful daily life on the roads."
