As the new year comes, China has introduced some new automotive specifications. South Korea is no exception, and what new regulations on automobile traffic will be introduced in South Korea in 2022? For this article, let's take a look.
In the past, vehicles turned right and found pedestrians on the crosswalk, and if pedestrians had just crossed the road from the other side or had already crossed the zebra crossing, they could slow down and pass. However, from now on, if someone is on a crosswalk, unconditional parking must be made.
If you ignore this and get caught, you will be fined 60,000 won (320 yuan) for a passenger car that violates its obligation to protect pedestrians by deducting 10 points. In addition, even on crosswalks without traffic lights, if there are pedestrians crossing the road, they must stop unconditionally, and even if pedestrians are ready to cross the crosswalk, they must stop and wait.
If there is someone on the crosswalk at the traffic lights after turning right: stop until the end of the crosswalk
If there is no one on the crosswalk at the traffic lights after turning right: drive slowly
If the pedestrian green light in the crosswalk before turning right is on: unconditional parking
*However, if there are no pedestrians on the crosswalk before turning right, even if there is a pedestrian signal and you turn right in the right turn lane, you can slowly turn right through the crosswalk.
If pedestrians cross crosswalks without traffic lights: stop
If pedestrians try to cross a crosswalk without traffic lights: stop
Both the crosswalk before the right turn and the crosswalk after the right turn must stop when a pedestrian crosses the street and must stop until the crosswalker crosses the road. If the pedestrian signal is on and no one is crossing the road, the vehicle may pause and slow down to pass, but you must carefully observe the surroundings.
