Uiwang City Implements 24-Hour Unmanned CCTV Surveillance for Illegal Parking

[Suwon Ilbo=Yu Je-seong] Uiwang City announced on the 21st that it will implement full-scale 24-hour intensive enforcement using unmanned surveillance cameras (CCTV) starting in February to prevent traffic congestion, accident risks, and resident inconvenience caused by illegal parking in absolute no-parking zones.

The intensive enforcement will target areas within 5 meters of intersections and within 10 meters of bus stops where the need for 24-hour parking enforcement has been raised. The enforcement areas are △Sunggogae-ro Intersection near Seoul Detention Center (around Poil-dong 505-42) △Two areas near Lotte Premium Outlets (Uil-ro bus stop, main gate intersection) △Bugok Market Five-way Intersection (around Sam-dong 192-56).

The city plans to ensure smooth traffic flow through this enforcement and reduce accident risks to enhance resident safety and quality of life.

A city official stated, "Illegal parking around intersections and bus stops is a major factor threatening citizen safety and exacerbating traffic congestion," and added, "Through 24-hour unmanned enforcement, we will establish traffic order and create a pleasant urban environment."
