[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Namsan-ro, the gateway road entering the city center from the outskirts of Ulsan, is expected to be transformed into a safe and bright road.

Ulsan City, together with the Ulsan Police Agency, will install 'LED road studs' in the Namsan-ro area from July 21 to 31 to enhance nighttime lane visibility.

The installation area covers approximately 2.6 km from the southern intersection of the old Samho Bridge to the intersection in front of Clover Apartments. The functionality is greatly improved compared to existing road markings, and a reduction in traffic accidents during rain and nighttime is expected.

An official from the city stated, "Since Namsan-ro has heavy traffic volume, we plan to minimize inconvenience by working outside peak commuting hours, but we ask for drivers' understanding. We will continue to actively develop traffic policies that reflect the changing traffic environment and citizens' voices."

Prior to this, from April to June, Ulsan City conducted a pilot project to reduce nighttime pedestrian accidents by installing luminous LED road studs on runway-style crosswalks (three locations including the intersection in front of Nam-gu Health Center) and on the center line of Dojil-ro (from Bongwol Intersection to in front of Jongha Gymnasium) for about 235 meters.
