The operation restriction enforcement hours are from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, excluding weekends and public holidays. If a vehicle is caught operating through CCTV enforcement cameras installed on major roads, a fine of 100,000 KRW will be imposed.

However, vehicles equipped with emission reduction devices, emergency vehicles, vehicles for the disabled, national merit recipients, and among vehicles that cannot be equipped with reduction devices, those owned by basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, and small business owners are exempted.

Additionally, since enforcement conditions such as operation restrictions and exemptions vary by city and province, when visiting other regions, it is essential to check the restriction conditions of the area through the "Vehicle Emission Grade System Website" or similar sources.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun of Guri City stated, "We expect that the operation restriction on Grade 5 emission vehicles implemented this time will contribute to improving air quality and reducing fine dust. We will continue to actively strive to protect citizens' health and improve air quality."
