[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province announced on the 16th that it will conduct a joint crackdown on illegal outdoor advertisements in the area in cooperation with city and county offices, police stations, and the Outdoor Advertising Association until the end of this month.


The crackdown will target illegal outdoor advertisements installed in school zones, downtown streets, traditional markets, and other locations.


The joint inspection team will promote voluntary maintenance focused on guidance and persuasion, but will immediately remove illegal outdoor advertisements in school zones and commercial areas with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic to ensure pedestrian safety.


In addition, safety inspections of outdoor advertising facilities (signboards, banner stands, etc.) will be conducted in preparation for heavy rain and strong winds caused by autumn typhoons.



An official from the province stated, “The reality is that the permit and reporting rates are low because illegal outdoor advertisements are not generally considered a crime. The province will continue maintenance activities to establish a healthy sign culture and maintain a pleasant urban landscape.”
