At 10 a.m., a passenger car driver is caught by a police officer running a signal in a school zone. What is the traffic penalty amount for this driver?
💡 Hint
Violating signals or instructions in a school zone during the set hours brings a higher traffic penalty than on ordinary roads (Enforcement Decree, Article 93(2) and Appended Table 10). Amounts differ by vehicle type, so do not confuse the passenger-car amount with the ordinary-road or speeding amounts.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 93(2) of the Enforcement Decree, Appended Table 10 applies to signal violations in a school zone between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and the traffic penalty for passenger cars is 120,000 won. 60,000 won is the amount outside protection zones, and 150,000 won is for speeding more than 60 km/h over the limit in a protection zone.
