On May 11, Paju City in Gyeonggi Province announced that, in response to feedback and appeals regarding the flexible parking and stopping zones on Soricheon-ro in Yadang-dong, it will strengthen guidance on these designated areas in order to prevent confusion among citizens and to establish proper parking order.

Currently, the Yadang-dong area has a high demand for parking due to a concentration of commercial facilities and an increasing floating population. To alleviate traffic congestion and enhance citizen convenience, the city has implemented a flexible parking policy in certain sections.

The designated zone covers a total distance of 460 meters on Soricheon-ro in Yadang-dong, extending from in front of World Stay (starting point: Yadang-dong 1046) to in front of Yuen Tower 2nd (ending point: Yadang-dong 1060). Whether flexible parking and stopping is permitted can be confirmed by checking the road markings and information signs installed on site.

In particular, Paju City has comprehensively considered the high parking demand and ensured that the designated zone does not obstruct the flow of traffic. The area has been officially designated and operated as a flexible parking and stopping zone after deliberation by the Paju Police Station’s Traffic Safety Committee.

Additionally, illegal parking and stopping outside the permitted zone is subject to enforcement. In particular, areas that pose a risk to traffic safety—such as corners at intersections, near fire hydrants, crosswalks, and around bus stops—are subject to continuous enforcement.

Lee Sungwon, head of the Parking Management Department, stated, “Since the flexible parking zone is a system introduced for citizen convenience, it is important for everyone to accurately identify the permitted sections. As illegal parking and stopping outside the designated zones is subject to enforcement, we kindly ask for your cooperation.”
