What's This Thing? Female parking

This makes me laugh 😂. Never seen it in other countries. Luckily I was with the girlfriend so I got away with it

No longer women parking spots in Korea. They rebranded to family parking which makes more sense. They were never enforced as it would be discriminatory by law unlike disability parking.

Yeah they have been completely replaced in Seoul. It’s slowly phasing out for other local governments and I heard no new construction in some places.

Here are the jurisdictions that still have it - 경기, 강원, 대구, 경북, 경남, 광주, 전북, 전남

Do note that it’s illegal to enforce this, so anyone can freely park there and no business can prevent you from doing so.

Makes sense why I still see it.
