Installation of 277 Anti-Illegal Advertisement Boards Near 4 Local Elementary Schools' Child Protection Zones
Enhancing Safe and Clean Walking Environment by Preemptively Blocking Illegal Advertisements
Yellow Special Pads with High Visibility Installed in Child Protection Zones to Promote Safe Driving and Strengthen Pedestrian Safety

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it has newly installed 277 anti-illegal advertisement attachment panels near four elementary school child protection zones within the district to create safe and clean school routes.

The district aimed to block indiscriminate illegal advertisements attached to streetlights, traffic lights, and utility poles around school routes in advance, thereby creating a pleasant walking environment by installing these anti-attachment panels.

By July this year, the district installed a total of 277 anti-illegal advertisement attachment panels on streetlights, traffic lights, and utility poles along approximately 3.3 km of child protection zones near Yeongdong Elementary School (Beodnearu-ro 19-gil ~ Yeongjung-ro 38-gil ~ Beodnearu-ro 15-gil), Wooshin Elementary School (Singil-ro ~ Singil-ro 42-gil), Dorim Elementary School (Gamasan-ro 65-gil), and Daegil Elementary School (Daebangcheon-ro ~ Yeouidae-bang-ro 7-gil).

The surface of the anti-illegal advertisement attachment panels is made of a special pad (PVC) with circular protrusions, which makes it difficult for adhesives such as tape and stickers to stick, thus enhancing the prevention effect.

Additionally, through secondary functions such as electric shock prevention and electromagnetic wave blocking, the safety of residents was protected.

In particular, yellow background panels containing phrases emphasizing the child protection zone (SCHOOL ZONE) were installed to improve visibility and encourage drivers to be alert and comply with safe driving obligations.

Until last year, the district installed 2,267 anti-illegal advertisement attachment panels on streetlights and utility poles along major roads and school routes within the area, alleviating residents' inconvenience caused by harmful illegal advertisements and maintaining street cleanliness to enhance urban aesthetics.

Furthermore, to eradicate illegal advertisements, the district is conducting various projects such as removing advertisement traces, night and weekend crackdowns on illegal advertisements (365 Surveillance Team), and a reward system for collecting posters and banners.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “We will do our best to continuously expand the installation of anti-illegal advertisement attachment panels in child protection zones to create safe school routes,” and added, “We will continue to strive to block illegal advertisements in advance to maintain a pleasant and beautiful urban landscape.”
