Gyeonggi-do Province to Intensively Crack Down on Motorcycle Noise and Illegal Modifications

Gyeonggi-do Province is launching a crackdown on illegal activities involving motorcycles.

On June 1, Gyeonggi-do Province announced that from June 4 to 29, it will conduct a comprehensive crackdown across the province targeting noise and illegal modifications of motorcycles.

This crackdown is being implemented in accordance with the 'Gyeonggi-do Province Motorcycle Noise Management Plan (2025–2029).'

Recently, as the delivery culture has spread, the number of registered motorcycles has steadily increased, resulting in continuous noise complaints, especially in densely populated residential areas.

To curb such noise and enhance the effectiveness of its policy, Gyeonggi-do Province decided to conduct simultaneous crackdowns throughout the province.

To ensure both efficiency and on-site safety, Gyeonggi-do Province has formed joint inspection teams with city and county offices, local police stations, and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority. The roles of each organization have been clearly defined, and the joint inspection teams will focus on strengthening on-site inspections in areas with frequent complaints and high accident risk.

The main targets of the crackdown are violations of motorcycle noise standards and illegal modification activities. Motorcycles that exceed noise limits or have been illegally modified will be subject to administrative actions, such as fines and orders to restore the vehicle to its original state, in accordance with relevant laws.

Park Daegeun, Director of the Environmental Health and Safety Division at Gyeonggi-do Province, stated, "As the number of registered motorcycles in Korea continues to rise each year, we are working closely with related organizations to continue joint crackdowns to reduce noise disturbances experienced by residents. Since this operation will be carried out on a large scale across the province, we will raise awareness about illegal noise-generating activities and do our utmost to ensure that residents can enjoy a more comfortable daily life."
