Text Alerts Before Parking Violations... Yeongdeungpo-gu 'Parking Enforcement Notification Service'

‘Parking Enforcement Notification Service’ App Installation and Registration Required...
Advance Notice Encourages Drivers to Move Vehicles
Enforcement Grace Period Extended to 10 Minutes to Prevent Excessive Enforcement

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it will expand the illegal parking and stopping enforcement advance notice text message service to establish proper parking order.

The text message notification service informs drivers who have parked or stopped their vehicles within fixed and mobile closed-circuit television (CCTV) enforcement zones of the upcoming enforcement via text message, encouraging them to voluntarily move their vehicles. This provides an opportunity to move the vehicle before a fine is imposed, preventing excessive enforcement and maintaining smooth traffic flow.

The district conducts illegal parking and stopping enforcement mainly in school zones during drop-off and pick-up times and in key areas during commuting hours. When a vehicle enters an enforcement area, fixed and mobile CCTV cameras capture the vehicle and notify the driver of the upcoming enforcement through the text message notification service. If the vehicle is not moved within 10 minutes, a fine is imposed.

In particular, the district has improved the system by extending the enforcement grace period from the previous 5 minutes to 10 minutes, providing drivers with sufficient time to move their vehicles.

To use the service, prior registration is required. Drivers can register through the ‘Parking Enforcement Notification Service Integrated Registration Assistant’ app or website, or by visiting the district office’s Parking Culture Division. Only one driver per vehicle can be registered, and a separate application is required if the vehicle or phone number changes.

Additionally, the district has introduced an ‘advance notice system’ for unauthorized parking in resident-priority parking zones, granting a 10-minute grace period and focusing on guidance to establish parking order.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “The goal is to maintain smooth traffic flow by encouraging prompt vehicle movement through the text message notification service,” and added, “We will continue to make efforts to establish a proper parking culture.”
