'숲길 번호판' Installed Every 100m on Seongnam Nubigil Trail

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is promoting a project to assign road names to major hiking trails and install basic number plates, becoming the first in the Seoul metropolitan area to do so.

As a result, it is expected to be easier to ensure citizens' safety by accurately reporting locations in case of getting lost or safety accidents on the mountains.

Seongnam City has decided to assign road names and install basic number plates every 100 meters along seven sections of the Seongnam Nubi-gil, a trail that circles the four famous mountains in the area.

This summer, the project will begin with Section 1 of Seongnam Nubi-gil, Namhansanseong-gil (Bokjeong-dong to Namhansanseong South Gate), and Section 2, Geomdansan-gil (Namhansanseong South Gate to Galmachigogae), with plans to install number plates for two sections each year.

Currently, national point number plates used for emergency rescue are installed in mountainous areas, but due to insufficient facilities, it has been difficult to confirm locations quickly, limiting prompt response.

Seongnam City plans to apply universal design in future building number plate maintenance projects and establish a detailed address information system by assigning new object addresses to public phones, mailboxes, electric wheelchair rapid chargers, bicycle racks, and emergency fire equipment.

A Seongnam City official stated, "Through assigning road name addresses to hiking trails and expanding the scope of address information, we will promote various policies to ensure that all citizens can use addresses safely and conveniently."
