As the travel season begins in South Korea, recreational vehicles are increasingly occupying parking spaces meant for regular cars. According to a report published on May 11, complaints about improper RV parking have increased by 20% compared to last year.

Authorities' response

The city of Gangneung has announced raids targeting long-term parking of RVs and caravans on municipal free parking lots, as well as illegal camping and cooking. Violators face towing and fines. Authorities recommend using six specially equipped RV campsites. At the national level, the possibility of introducing fines for parking RVs in unauthorized locations is being considered.

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.
