Dongdaemun-gu, No-Smoking Zones Within 10m of Bus Stops

Installation of No-Smoking Zone Pavement Markings at 80 Old District, Village Bus, and City Bus Stops

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yu Deok-yeol) has installed no-smoking zone road signboards indicating no-smoking areas at 80 locations, including 68 village bus stops and 12 city bus stops, to prevent secondhand smoke damage and unnecessary conflicts.

The area within 10 meters of a bus stop is a no-smoking zone, but it is difficult to visually determine the exact 10-meter distance.

As a result, smoking near bus stops often causes harm to non-smokers, but it has been difficult to request smokers near bus stops to refrain from smoking.

To address this issue, Dongdaemun-gu installed no-smoking zone road signboards that anyone using the bus can easily identify.

The district plans to expand the installation of no-smoking zone road signboards at bus stops, focusing on areas with high foot traffic.

Yu Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “By attaching no-smoking zone road signboards, we hope to widely promote that bus stops are no-smoking areas and establish a culture of refraining from smoking. We will do our best to create a healthy and clean no-smoking environment in Dongdaemun-gu free from cigarette smoke.”
