Yongin City Mandates 'Collision Prevention Facilities' in Parking Lots to Mitigate Sudden Acceleration Accidents

Effective from March 27
Mandatory for parking lots attached to facilities with a total floor area of 300 square meters or more

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on January 29 that, starting March 27, the installation of 'collision prevention facilities' will be mandatory in parking lots attached to buildings.

This mandate follows the revision of the 'Yongin City Ordinance on Parking Lot Installation and Management' in September last year. The city has introduced this measure to minimize accidents caused by sudden acceleration or operational errors involving vehicles.

The mandatory installation applies to parking lots attached to buildings such as restaurants and cafes with a total floor area of 300 square meters or more. For ground-level installations, it applies to newly constructed buildings with a total floor area of 500 square meters or more, and where the parking space is located within 10 meters of the building. All these conditions must be met for the requirement to apply.

Prior to implementation, the city plans to provide sufficient guidance on installation standards and applicable targets to minimize confusion.

A city official stated, "We will continue to create a parking environment where citizens can feel safe by preventing accidents and enhancing safety."
