Yongin City Pilot Installation of Guide Signs for the 4km Section from Guseong to Jukjeon Tancheon

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province has pilot-installed standardized 'guide signs' (information signboards) along a 4km section from Guseong to Jukjeon Tancheon.

The newly installed guide signs include 18 units of 8 types: ▲Entrance guidance ▲Information boards ▲Location signs ▲No smoking signs ▲Comprehensive information signs, etc. Yongin City unified fonts, colors, and notation methods to enhance visibility and used concise phrases and icons so that anyone can easily understand the information.

Since May last year, as part of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's 'Public Design to Improve Daily Convenience' project, the city planned an integrated guide sign system for pedestrians and bicycle users and newly developed a total of 11 types.

From the initial design development stage, the city collected opinions from local residents and bicycle users through surveys and preference polls, and finalized the design after review by the city’s Public Design Committee.

The city prepared design guidelines and manuals for production, installation, replacement, and management to enable the installation and maintenance of guide signs using the standard design in the future.

A city official stated, "By establishing a standard system for public guide signs, citizens can use bicycle paths more conveniently, and maintenance efficiency has also been secured. We will continue to make efforts in various ways to create a pleasant urban landscape."
