[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Jangyu Branch Office of Gimhae City, Gyeongnam, has been promoting the eradication of illegal parking and stopping in disabled parking spaces together with volunteers from the 13th to the 28th.

The Jangyu Branch Office produced and distributed 10,000 promotional leaflets explaining violation cases and 43 banners, focusing on 21 apartment complexes where habitual violations occur, and also broadcasts announcements within the apartments three times a day.

This intensive promotion comes in response to the recent significant increase in violations such as illegal parking and stopping in disabled parking spaces, which has prevented these spaces from being used as originally intended.

Violating vehicles are subject to a fine of 100,000 KRW, 2,000,000 KRW for improper use of parking permits, and 500,000 KRW for obstructing parking.

An official from the branch office stated, “Disabled parking spaces are areas that practice consideration for people with disabilities,” and urged, “All drivers should have a mature civic consciousness and always keep these spaces free to ensure the establishment of a proper parking culture that guarantees convenience for disabled users.”
