Starting August 28, amendments to the Parking Lot Act in South Korea impose fines of up to 1 million won (approx. $750) for parking a motorhome or caravan on a free public lot for more than one consecutive month without a valid reason. Blocking a parking lot entrance now carries a fine of up to 5 million won (approx. $3,750) and possible towing. Previously, owners could avoid penalties by moving their vehicle within the same lot; now enforcement covers the entire lot. However, experts warn that a lack of CCTV and staff may hinder enforcement, and the shortage of dedicated motorhome and caravan parking facilities remains unaddressed.
