Fire Truck Rapid Access and Residents' Quick Escape... Colored Road Markings Installed at LH Rental Housing

To facilitate rapid vehicle movement in the event of a fire, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 20th that it will pilot the installation of road surface color guide lines (Info-Line), currently used on highways, in rental housing complexes.

The road surface color guide lines are expected to be effective in shortening on-site arrival times by guiding emergency vehicles such as fire trucks to quickly reach the building where the fire has occurred.

Residents and visitors to the complex will also be able to easily locate buildings using the guide lines.

LH will conduct the pilot project targeting six rental housing complexes in the Gyeongnam area that are large-scale (with seven or more buildings), have complex building layouts, or feature curved roads where the installation of guide lines is highly necessary. These complexes include Gyeongnam Innovation 3, Miryang Sammun, Yangsan Soju, Jinhae Jaeun 3, Changwon Songjeong, and Changwon Hyeondong A1. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.

Starting with this pilot project, LH plans to expand and implement the guide lines across rental housing complexes under the jurisdiction of LH regional headquarters nationwide after verifying effectiveness and identifying areas for improvement.

Meanwhile, LH signed a business agreement with the Gyeongnam Fire Headquarters on the 19th. The two organizations will cooperate to ensure the successful implementation of the project by reviewing the installation process, conducting fire safety training and education for residents, reducing emergency response times, and surveying firefighter satisfaction.
