To encourage the use of traditional markets, parking enforcement using fixed and mobile enforcement cameras will be temporarily suspended on roads around the Garaebi Traditional Market in Gwangjeok-myeon during the Lunar New Year holiday period, from Friday, February 13 to Thursday, February 19.

However, enforcement will continue during the holiday period, including through the resident reporting system, in the six types of absolute no-parking and no-stopping zones: within 10 meters of bus stops; within 5 meters of fire hydrants; within 5 meters of intersections and corners; on crosswalks; on roads in front of the main gates of elementary schools within child protection zones; and on sidewalks (including combined bicycle-pedestrian paths).

In addition, to provide convenience for citizens and holiday travelers visiting their hometowns, 42 public parking lots in the city will be open free of charge for three days from the 16th to the 18th.

An official from Yangju City said, "We have introduced these measures so that local residents and holiday travelers can conveniently use parking spaces during the Lunar New Year holiday," adding, "We hope that with your active cooperation, everyone will enjoy a safe and pleasant holiday."
