At the second parking lot near Jangseong Lake in Jangseong County, South Korea, four large caravans have occupied spaces designated for passenger cars for several months, blocking traffic lanes. The 152-space parking area (15 bus spaces, 137 car spaces) was built under the Tourism Promotion Act as an "open tourist site" with barrier-free access for tourists with disabilities and the elderly. Authorities conduct enforcement, but the caravans temporarily leave and return after inspections. Current law allows forced towing only for vehicles abandoned for over a month, limiting action. Residents propose paid parking and barrier gates; experts call for local ordinance amendments to allow immediate towing of vehicles obstructing barrier-free routes.
