Eunpyeong-gu Completes Pilot Installation of Solar-Powered Illuminated Street Nameplates

Installation of Street Name Plates Completed for Safe, Convenient, and Quick Location Identification Even at Night

Seoul Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced on the 5th that it has completed the installation of the nation’s first ‘solar-powered illuminated street nameplates’ on road boundary stones in alleyways and other areas where location identification is difficult.

‘Street nameplates’ are primarily installed on traffic signal poles, utility poles, or building walls to indicate location and direction following the full adoption of the road name address system. While they are visible during the day, it is difficult to identify locations in narrow alleyways at night.

Additionally, citizens’ anxiety has increased due to recent random violent crimes such as attacks with weapons. Related studies have reported that installing lighting can reduce five major crimes, including robbery and theft at night, by approximately 16%.

Considering these factors, Eunpyeong-gu installed illuminated street nameplates to improve residents’ address convenience and prevent crime at 14 locations around Eunpyeong-ro 21-gil and Eunpyeong-ro 21-ga-gil.

For more details, please contact the Eunpyeong-gu Office Street Name Address Team by phone.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said, “Installing illuminated street nameplates in vulnerable areas will greatly help ensure residents’ safe living and improve their quality of life.”
