Since Monday morning, a resident left his car parked at the entrance of an apartment complex in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, causing inconvenience to other residents.

According to the apartment management office, on the 29th, tenant A left that day around 5 in the morning, blocking the parking barrier at the entrance to the apartment with his car.

As a result, other vehicles were unable to enter and exit, causing severe congestion on the complex’s roads for vehicles heading to work and children going to school.

After a resident’s report, the police intervened, but it was reported that they could not take towing measures according to the Road Traffic Act because the road leading to the residential complex is private property.

There appears to be about 10 parking violation warning signs posted on the car’s windshield. Residents say Mr A often double parks in the car park corridor, which is why he received a warning notice.

Resident B said: “It’s not that there is no place to park the car in the official parking lot, but I have been habitually double parking and parking in the corridor for a long time, maybe because I’m afraid of scratching the car, for example through the door lock.” One person has occasionally been reported in the news across the country, but it is questionable whether a copycat mentality exists. “I hope a severe punishment is imposed as a warning,” he told News 1.
