Seocho-gu Renovates No-Smoking Street Signs to Lead Smoking Cessation Efforts

Complete Renovation with Bollard and Streetlight Pole Attachments... 539 Bollards, 327 Streetlight Poles... Triple Benefits: Enhanced No-Smoking Zone Awareness, Maximized Smoking Ban Promotion, and Improved Street Aesthetics

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) has completely replaced the existing pole-type no-smoking street signs with bollard and streetlight pole attachments to raise awareness of no-smoking streets and create a smoke-free environment.

The reason for replacing the no-smoking street signs is that the previously installed pole signs were frequently damaged due to air pollution and wind, leading to increased maintenance costs from frequent replacements and concerns about safety accidents during replacements.

The newly installed no-smoking street signs have completely resolved all the inconveniences of the previous pole-type signs.

Made of PVC material, they are economical with almost no risk of damage, and the design, approved through the district’s design review, has also improved the street’s aesthetics.

In particular, the streetlight pole signs feature a textured transparent soft PVC surface to prevent indiscriminate illegal advertisements, adding an anti-adhesion function for advertisements.

These easily recognizable no-smoking street signs are expected to have a triple effect by enhancing awareness of no-smoking streets, maximizing no-smoking promotion effects, and improving street aesthetics.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo stated, “We aim to raise residents’ interest in the no-smoking street system and induce smokers’ awareness,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to create a pleasant and green Seocho by fostering a smoke-free environment.”
