Ganghwa County Intensifies Crackdown on Illegal Parking of Construction Machinery Through End of Year

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 26th that it will conduct intensive crackdowns through the end of the year on construction machinery illegally parked on residential roads, roadside areas, and other locations rather than at registered parking facilities.

The county determined that construction machinery frequently obstructs traffic flow and disrupts residents' living environments by being parked on roads and vacant lots near residential areas and by causing noise. The county has organized an enforcement team to conduct intensive crackdowns, focusing on areas with high accident risks due to illegal parking, locations with frequent complaints, and vacant lots.

The county plans to provide administrative guidance such as relocating illegally parked construction machinery to owners, and subsequently impose fines according to the number of violations: 50,000 won for the first offense, 100,000 won for the second, and 300,000 won or more for three or more violations.

A county official stated, "This intensive inspection has been conducted to improve residential environments by eliminating illegal parking," and added, "Since this is being carried out to raise awareness among construction machinery owners and prevent illegal parking and safety accidents, we request active cooperation."
