<Anchor> As
more and more people deliver food or goods at home, the number of motorcycles is also increasing.
As a result of the analysis by our data journalism team,'Storm', as of September this year, 34,000 units increased from a year ago.
Among them, there are motorcycles that run freely on crosswalks and sidewalks and do not obey signals.
It is said that they run fast even where there are unmanned surveillance cameras, but we have covered whether there is any way to crack down on them for the sake of everyone's safety.
Reporter Shin Seung-i, Choi Jae-young, and Son Hyeong-an will deliver.

[Black box reporter: I was very surprised.
I never thought it would come in like that...
]
A pedestrian crossing in Gangnam, Seoul, and motorcycles squeeze between people and cross the road.
To reduce signal waiting time, crosswalks are used as a shortcut.
At an intersection, turn left, ignoring the stop sign, and try to drive in the opposite lane at all.
There is no hesitation in front of the enforcement camera.
I've measured how fast it is, and I run as if trying to double the speed limit.
[Kang Ho-su/Taxi driver: Signal and lane...
(Lane) Doing things like change at will.
It's nice when it's a word.] On
weekdays during the daytime, in the middle of downtown Seoul, we looked at how many motorcycles violated the laws.
In two hours, 473 motorcycles passed by, but 131 motorcycles were violated in two cases: a traffic violation, a sidewalk or a crosswalk.
It is a violation of the law, with a fine of 40,000 won or a fine of 50,000 won, respectively.
[Jaenam Kim/Yangcheon-gu, Seoul: (Crosswalk) Even though the signal is on, I get stuck in the middle, so I'm nervous.
You could get hurt momentarily...
] As the
delivery market grows and delivery becomes more urgent, motorcycles on the street are getting rougher.

Motorcycles do not shrink even with unmanned surveillance cameras.
This is because even if a person is photographed in violation, it is useless.
The unmanned surveillance camera recognizes the license plate on the front of the vehicle, but because the motorcycle does not have the license plate in front, it is located only on the back of the motorcycle as you can see, the crackdown itself is impossible.
In Singapore and Indonesia, license plates are attached to the front of motorcycles like this, but our government is in a position that "it is difficult to implement in reality."
This is because if the license plate is attached to the front, the air resistance is so severe that the motorcycle may fall over while driving, and the license plate that protrudes from the side may be struck by a person, resulting in more injury.
So it is necessary to introduce a rear unmanned camera.
Unlike the previous crackdown cameras that only lighted the front, a camera that can photograph the rear of the motorcycle driving direction is additionally installed to crack down on signal violations or not wearing a helmet through video, and speed violations through equipment that can measure the speed. Is to crack down.
The technology review for adoption is currently underway.
This blind spot of unmanned crackdown clearly exists, and this blind spot has no choice but to be filled through on-site crackdown. Let's see what the reality of on-site crackdown is like.

An intersection in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.
Police crack down on motorcycles with camcorders.
Mainly traffic violations and sidewalk driving.
[Kim Jae-hoon/Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station Sergeant: Violation of Article 13 of the Road Traffic Act, you drive a motorcycle.
If you have an ID, please.] When
I asked the reason for the violation of traffic laws, most of the respondents say "delivery was urgent".
[Motorcycle driver: Because of the phone call.
Today's (two-wheeled vehicle) driver wasn't all out.]
[Motorcycle driver: (delivery related) I have an urgent appointment.
I got a dunning call.
It happened because (a customer) was waiting.]
A driver who was running without a helmet, heard the police order to stop, and then ran in reverse and ran away.
[Police radio sound: I'm running backwards.] The
crackdown on motorcycles is not easy because of motorcycles running back and forth.
In some cases, the license plate is subtly covered, making tracking difficult.
Particularly, it is a burden that motorcyclists may be injured while actively cracking down.
[Yun Sang-hyun/Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station Traffic Manager: The most difficult thing is when you fail to comply with the crackdown and run away.
(Based on the bond video) We are cracking down on business visits after death.] It
is not only the crackdown.
Therefore, alternatives such as the introduction of a delivery system that calculates the delivery time for safe delivery, and the motorcycle delivery man certification system that mandate safety training are proposed.
[Pilsu Kim/Professor of Department of Automobile at Daelim University: There is a part that the crackdown standards are also insufficient.
Since no education or such part is in progress, it is actually lacking the midnight function for the motorcycle industry.] As
a public interest reporter was launched last May and operated by citizens to report violations of motorcycle traffic laws, some motorcycles It seems that the runaway will take some braking.
In addition, it seems that there is a need for consumers to relax and wait for the motorcycle delivery man.
