Gwangjin-gu Replaces All No-Smoking Area Signposts with 'Sign Blocks'... Total 154 Units

154 Floor Markers in No-Smoking Areas of Multi-Use Facilities Fully Replaced with Sign Blocks
High Visibility with Various and Vivid Colors... Equipped with Anti-Slip Function

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has newly refurbished 154 "No Smoking Area Guide Floor Markers" to create a pleasant smoke-free environment and prevent safety accidents.

Currently, under the "Gwangjin-gu Ordinance for Prevention of Secondhand Smoke Damage," the district has designated and manages ▲45 subway station entrances ▲18 school commuting routes ▲10 multi-use facilities as no smoking areas. However, the guide markers installed within these areas had become worn out, making them difficult to identify and raising concerns about slip accidents.

Accordingly, the district began refurbishing the markers earlier this year and recently replaced all 154 floor markers in the no smoking areas with Sign Blocks (floor guide marker blocks).

Sign Blocks are special blocks that convey necessary information to pedestrians through letters, numbers, and other symbols, using a variety of vivid and clear colors for excellent visibility. Additionally, the blocks have a textured surface that is slip-resistant and highly durable.

This replacement of floor markers is expected not only to prevent slip accidents during heavy rain and snow but also to raise awareness about no smoking areas, thereby effectively preventing secondhand smoke damage.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, stated, "We have promptly completed the replacement of no smoking area guide markers so that residents can safely spend this summer," and added, "Going forward, Gwangjin-gu will continue to spare no effort in protecting residents' safety and creating a pleasant smoke-free environment."

In addition, Gwangjin-gu is actively promoting various projects to improve residents' health, including operating smoking cessation clinics, providing youth smoking cessation counseling, and conducting smoking prevention education.
