Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gijae) announced that it will install 255 ‘Safe Return Ground Lights (Road Markers)’ this month on back roads in residential areas with high crime risk, illuminating the ground to allow vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly to walk without worry.


The installation section covers approximately 540 meters from 80 Eunhaengjeong-ro 17-gil to 19 Omok-ro 37-gil in Sinjeong 4-dong. The ground-embedded installation method will minimize inconvenience to road users and light pollution to nearby homes.


This project, selected through this year’s resident participation budget, gained additional significance as local residents directly identified alley sections needing ground lighting for crime prevention.


Furthermore, the district plans to focus on providing psychological stability and ensuring daily safety by applying Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), which has a crime psychological deterrent effect, to the ground lighting.


Meanwhile, last year, the district installed over 100 ground lights in the areas of 16na-gil, Mokdongjungangnam-ro, Mok 3-dong, and 15-gil, Jiyang-ro, Sinwol 7-dong, creating a safer nighttime walking environment in residential neighborhoods.



Lee Gijae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “The safety of our residents is the top priority and obligation of district administration. We will steadily implement safety policies that can prevent crime, disasters, and accidents to build an urban environment where people can live with peace of mind.”
