This time, I will try to post information about fines related to the right turn at the crosswalk. Until now, when turning right while driving, the green pedestrian signal is green, and even when people are crossing, most drivers pass quickly when they are far away. Now that the Road Traffic Act was amended from July 12, you know that the duty to protect pedestrians has been strengthened by the enforcement of the right turn control at crosswalks.
From now on, we plan to strictly crack down on it, and if you break it, you may face penalties. Some of you may have experienced confusion as they are operating in
Over the past three years, 25.5% of pedestrian accidents have occurred at intersections and crosswalks, and as these accidents have increased, enforcement was implemented to prepare countermeasures. You may have heard the reinforced news through various media outlets.

Therefore, those who drive should not overlook this aspect and need to pay attention to it. Will. 횡단보도 우회전 단속
A few things to keep in mind as a pedestrian priority violation: When a person is crossing a crosswalk, the car must stop regardless of the signal, and when the crosswalk is green in the driving lane, it is temporarily You have to stop. 좋은뉴스

If these traffic provisions are violated, a violation of the duty to protect pedestrians is applied, and a fine of 60,000 won for a passenger car, 70,000 won for a van, and 10 demerit points will be imposed. It should be borne in mind that in the case of personal or property damage due to gross negligence), imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 20 million won will be imposed.
However, it has been about two weeks since the enforcement and police officers are informing drivers about what to do at the right turn signal in front of the crosswalk, but it is still difficult to clearly distinguish them.
Therefore, the guidance period for the enforcement of right turn enforcement at intersections and crosswalks (the period in which people can wake up and adapt to the new system) has been changed to extend from about 1 month (until August 11) to 3 months, and further extended to Tuesday, October 11 Please keep in mind that we are increasing enforcement and promotion activities.
In a situation in which you can go without stopping when turning right, when the pedestrian light at the crosswalk changes to red and it loses its character as a crosswalk, the right-turning vehicle may turn right in a line that does not interfere with the traffic of other vehicles proceeding according to the signal. You have to remember that you can.
Even so, it can feel a bit vague and confusing depending on the traffic situation, but for safe driving, it is probably the safest way to pass after stopping temporarily (the wheels are completely stopped) and then passing after checking that there are no pedestrians.
Also, when driving, you need to pay more attention to the school zone, which is a child protection area. Don’t forget that you have to stop unconditionally regardless of traffic lights or pedestrians. .
Children do not know when and where they may suddenly appear, so it is best to be as careful and slow as possible when driving.
As mentioned above, we have briefly summarized and informed you about the fines related to the right turn enforcement at the crosswalk, and since small actions such as stopping in front of the crosswalk are the first step to reducing and preventing pedestrian accidents, we will create a traffic culture that puts people first before cars. I hope we can all join for safety.
I hope this post has been informative and informative, and I will try my best to provide you with the latest interesting and helpful news.
