Pyeongtaek City to Suspend Illegal Parking Enforcement During Lunar New Year Holiday

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Pyeongtaek City announced on the 12th that it will suspend enforcement of illegal parking regulations during the Lunar New Year holiday period to enhance parking convenience for local residents and promote the local economy.

Accordingly, the city plans to waive enforcement of illegal parking violations at six traditional markets in Pyeongtaek, including Tongbok Market, which sees increased visitors during the holiday, for a 14-day period from January 24 to February 6.

During the grace period, the focus will be on guidance and advisory enforcement to ensure smooth vehicle traffic. However, for vehicles causing traffic disruptions, double-parked vehicles, illegally parked vehicles outside designated areas, or vehicles parked for extended periods, the city plans to implement towing and impose fines to encourage compliance with parking regulations.

Mayor Jung Jang-seon stated, "I hope that all citizens will actively participate in establishing voluntary parking order so that everyone can spend a peaceful holiday during this Lunar New Year break."
