180 Seniors Aged 65 and Over Assigned... Guiding Parking Order and Supporting Children's Safety
Parking Enforcement Officers Patrol 66 School Zones at Least Twice a Day

Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it will intensively manage illegally parked and stopped vehicles in school zones to create a safe route for children going to and from school, strengthening parking order.

To ensure children's pedestrian safety, the district has assigned 180 seniors aged 65 and over to school zones to guide vehicle movement and conduct awareness activities. Through this, they are establishing proper parking order and expanding the social participation of local seniors.

The seniors work in pairs and plan to continue their activities until December, excluding school vacation periods, to guide parking order and alleviate traffic inconveniences.

Additionally, the district is strengthening management by having parking enforcement officers regularly patrol 66 school zones in the area at least twice a day. A zero-tolerance policy will be applied to vehicles that threaten children's safety by illegal parking or stopping.

Furthermore, with the start of the school term, the district has improved the safe walking environment around school zones and educational environment protection zones by removing ▲ unauthorized street vendors (street stalls) ▲ illegally dumped items ▲ dangerous and harmful advertisements.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “Our goal is to reduce illegal parking and stopping in school zones and create a safe walking environment.” He added, “We will continue to make efforts through ongoing patrols and maintenance so that children can go to and from school safely.”
