LH Installs Colored Pavement Guide Lines at 105 Rental Housing Sites

LH announced on the 23rd that it will install road surface color guide lines (Info-Lines) in 105 public rental housing complexes nationwide. This is to enable rapid fire suppression in the event of a large fire.

The installation will be prioritized in large complexes, complexes with complicated building arrangements and routes, and is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. Depending on the results of the expanded installation, additional complexes requiring installation will be addressed in the future.

Improvements identified from the pilot complexes, such as paint peeling and differences in Info-Line designs by complex, will be supplemented by securing paint durability and preparing unified designs by August to provide a more convenient environment for residents and firefighting personnel.

LH expects that the Info-Lines within the complexes will enable faster and more convenient fire truck access and resident movement during fire and emergency situations, securing the golden time and further strengthening the protection of residents' lives and property.

Previously, LH collaborated with the Gyeongnam Fire Headquarters to pilot install Info-Lines in six rental housing complexes in the Gyeongnam area. Analysis of the response time by the local fire stations showed that the arrival time from the complex entrance to a specific building was reduced by 19%, and the number of parking incidents also decreased.

Additionally, 92% of firefighters and 93% of residents responded positively, stating that the Info-Lines help fire truck dispatch conditions and that there is a high need for expansion.

Ha Seung-ho, Head of LH’s National Housing Welfare Headquarters, said, “The Info-Lines within rental housing complexes can greatly assist residents, including the elderly, and visitors in moving around,” adding, “LH will continue to make efforts so that residents can enjoy safer and more comfortable living.”
