Temporary Parking Lots 1 and 2 near Unjeong Jungang Station have consistently been full during commuting hours, frequently causing traffic congestion due to vehicles parked outside of designated spaces.

In response, the city has assigned one on-site guide to each lot to prevent illegal parking outside of marked spaces and to address the temporarily increased parking demand. Additionally, the city has utilized unused areas within Temporary Parking Lot 1 to secure more parking spaces.

Meanwhile, the transfer parking lot at GTX-A Unjeong Jungang Station is scheduled for completion by October 2026. The city is continuously analyzing the utilization rate of the temporary parking lots and is closely coordinating with the Paju Project Headquarters of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to expand the number of parking spaces at the transfer parking lot and ensure timely completion.

Lee Sungwon, Head of the Parking Management Division, stated, "Securing these additional parking spaces is a short-term measure to minimize inconvenience for citizens. We will also consider mid- to long-term measures, such as expanding Temporary Parking Lot 2, in line with future parking demand," adding, "We will do our utmost to ensure that citizens can use the temporary parking lots at GTX-A Unjeong Jungang Station in a more comfortable and safe manner."
