Completion of Three 'Gwanak-style Smart Traffic Light Poles' as This Year's District Participatory Budget Projects
Contributing to a Safe and Comfortable Living Environment with Services Including Wi-Fi, Urban Data Sensors, and LED Emergency Bells

Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Jun-hee) is undertaking road facility maintenance and efforts to improve urban aesthetics and create a safe pedestrian environment.

The district recently completed the installation of three 'Gwanak-type Smart Traffic Light Poles' in the Sinlim-ro area (from Seoul National University Venture Town Station to Gwanaksan Station), where there is a high volume of foot traffic.

The 'Gwanak-type Smart Traffic Light Pole' integrates traffic lights, streetlights, CCTVs, and other devices that were previously installed separately on the road into a single smart pole. This urban infrastructure improves the pedestrian environment and helps establish a smart city.

Additionally, the smart poles provide services such as WiFi, urban data sensors (S-DoT), LED emergency bells, LED display boards, focused lighting, and audible signals for the visually impaired, contributing to a safe and comfortable living environment for residents.

The recently installed 'Gwanak-type Smart Traffic Light Poles' were implemented as part of this year's resident participatory budget project, reflecting the opinions of residents and related departments regarding installation locations and other details.

The 'Resident Participatory Budget System' is a system in which residents directly participate in the budgeting process of local governments, proposing projects or policies needed in their communities and contributing to enhancing transparency and fairness in local financial management.

Furthermore, the district is installing integrated smart poles tailored to the characteristics of the area as part of the 8th term mayoral pledge project, 'Creating a Smart City Gwanak.'

By the end of this year, four 'Integrated Safety Smart Poles' will be installed within school zones to establish a system that protects pedestrians from speeding vehicles, signal violations, and crosswalk accidents.

Park Jun-hee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, stated, "Through the installation of smart poles, we will address issues that impair urban aesthetics and cause inconvenience to pedestrians. We will do our best to create a smart city Gwanak that provides smart administrative services using information and communication technology (ICT)."
