If you violate a child protection zone, school zone, speed, or traffic signal, you will be assessed a fine or a fine. This varies depending on how you are caught, but you must be careful because if you accumulate a lot of demerit points, your driver’s license may be suspended.
Fines and fines are important, but the most important thing is the safety of children, so we must always pay attention. Please note that the protected area hours are 12 hours long, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., regardless of weekdays and weekends.

1. Fine for violation of traffic signal in children protection zone
Depending on the vehicle type, the fine for violating a traffic signal is 80,000 won for two-wheeled vehicles, 120,000 won for passenger cars, and 130,000 won for vans, and an additional 30 penalty points are imposed.
It is about 10,000 won cheaper than the fine, but you should be careful that penalty points are imposed. High demerit points have a negative impact on the driver’s driving record, and if the accumulated demerit points reach a certain level, a driver’s license may be suspended.
Therefore, especially in child protection areas, you must avoid violating traffic signals and do your best to drive safely.

2. Fines for violation of child protection zone signals
Fines for traffic violations are applied differently depending on the vehicle type: 90,000 won for two-wheeled vehicles, 130,000 won for passenger cars, and 140,000 won for vans.
Because this amount is usually very high compared to the fines issued on regular roads, traffic rules must be strictly observed in child protection zones, and speed limits and other regulations in these zones must be observed more carefully.
These high fines were set as one way to emphasize to drivers the importance of protecting children and encourage safe driving. Therefore, you must drive more carefully, especially in child protection areas, and strictly follow traffic rules to establish a safe driving culture.
