"So Much Easier When Parking in Reverse"... Vertical Parking Lines Gain Traction in Urban Areas

Many drivers struggle to align their cars properly every time they park, but a district office in Seoul has introduced a unique type of parking line.

Yes, Dongjak-gu in Seoul has pilot-tested "vertical parking lines" at four public parking lots within its jurisdiction to improve parking convenience and prevent safety accidents.

The vertical parking lines extend the vertical lines of conventional floor parking spaces all the way up to the rear wall.

When parking in reverse, drivers can easily check their parking position, which allows them to park more accurately and reduces collision accidents with surrounding facilities.

These vertical parking lines were first introduced nationwide by Gongju, South Chungcheong Province, late last year to a positive response.

Dongjak-gu plans to evaluate parking convenience and the effectiveness of preventing collision accidents through a user satisfaction survey after the pilot operation.
