Pyeongtaek starts towing badly parked shared personal mobility (PM) devices on July 1

Pyeongtaek will start towing shared personal mobility (PM) devices parked outside designated parking zones from July 1, 2026, after a two-month trial period

If you use shared PM in Pyeongtaek, park in the designated zone. Station areas, school routes, and busy pedestrian areas are the obvious risk points.

Pyeongtaek will start towing shared personal mobility (PM) devices parked outside designated parking zones from July 1, 2026, after a two-month trial period.

What Changes

Money Today reports that Pyeongtaek will tow electric kickboards and other shared personal mobility (PM) devices parked outside designated zones from July 1.

The city ran a May-June trial period with guidance and complaint-based field response. From July, shared PM devices are expected to be parked only in city-designated zones.

If a device is found outside a designated zone, the operator is asked to move it. If it is not moved in time, it can be towed and a 20,000 won towing fee is charged.

Practical Impact

Pyeongtaek says it will focus on station areas, dense pedestrian zones, and school routes.

That is exactly where bad personal mobility (PM) parking also annoys cyclists: crossings, curb ramps, path entrances, and the short links around transit.

No mystery here. Park the thing where it belongs.

TL;DR

  • Pyeongtaek starts a shared personal mobility (PM) towing system on July 1, 2026.
  • The rule is based on designated parking zones, not just a few no-parking spots.
  • Operators can be charged a towing fee if devices are not moved after a request.

Useful if you ride or park shared kickboards there.

The direction is simple: local governments are done treating blocked sidewalks and crossings as a small inconvenience.
