Suwon City Cracks Down on and Clears Long-Abandoned Vehicles

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City has decided to crack down on and organize long-abandoned automobiles.

The city is currently conducting a "comprehensive cleanup of illegally parked vehicles" from the 20th of last month through the 11th of next month.

The targets are vehicles that have been left unattended on roads for extended periods (40 days or more) without proper management, or vehicles that have been left on other people's land (apartments, private property, etc.) without proper authority for more than two months, causing violation of private property.

When an illegally parked vehicle is discovered, a towing notice is attached and a request for self-disposal (notice) is sent to the vehicle owner. If the vehicle owner fails to comply with the self-disposal request, the city plans to implement vehicle towing measures and impose traffic fines or pursue criminal prosecution.

The city is conducting intensive enforcement in back alleys of residential areas where complaints about illegally parked vehicles are frequently reported in each district, free public parking lots, and locations where resident reports were filed during the cleanup period.

Reports of illegally parked vehicles can be made to the Automobile Management Division's Abandoned Vehicle Processing Team (031-228-4670) or the city's Human Call Center (1899-3300).
