In Brief

In Changwon, South Korea, long-term parking of caravans and trailers has resumed on Samgwihaean Road despite previous crackdowns. Drivers use permitted white lines to avoid fines, sparking resident complaints about litter and odor.

In the South Korean city of Changwon, long-term parking of caravans and trailers has resumed on Samgwihaean Road (Samgwi-haean-ro) despite previous crackdowns.

According to the Sangsang-gu district office, 20 to 35 such vehicles are recorded daily on a 3.5-kilometer stretch. Drivers use permitted white lines to avoid fines, occupying about 400 meters of so-called "premium" spots with views of the sea and Machang Bridge. This has sparked resident complaints about litter and odor.

Authorities plan to paint yellow markings along the entire road by the end of the first half of the year to ban parking, and to change the flexible control hours from 24:00 to 09:00.

Drivers could see motorhome and campervan rule in England scrapped

Scarborough Town Council has proposed reconsidering an overnight parking ban for motorhomes and campervans on the town's seafront. The council states the trial ban, implemented by North Yorkshire Council due to complaints, has displaced vehicles into residential areas, causing new issues with noise, waste, and parking. It argues for a controlled parking scheme on Marine Drive to address the problem.
