Jangan-gu: "Residents' Priority Parking Lots Available to Anyone Outside Contracted Hours"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] On the 22nd, Jangan-gu in Suwon City displayed a banner publicizing that anyone can park in residents' priority parking lots outside contracted hours.

Recently, conflicts between residents have escalated as some citizens illegally place discarded tires, rubber cones, and other objects on parking spaces to prevent others from parking during hours outside the contracted time.

A district official stated, "The biggest problem that is intensifying despite enforcement and removal of illegally placed street objects is the perception that residents' priority parking areas are personal property," and added, "The placement of illegally positioned street objects is illegal, and we plan to continue with sustained publicity and guidance activities."

The residents' priority parking system has been implemented since 2008 to resolve inconvenience caused by insufficient parking spaces and to secure smooth vehicle traffic. There are 4,799 parking spaces across 270 zones designated as residents' priority parking areas within the district, with 4,720 spaces currently allocated.
