This project was carried out as part of the second phase of the "Ulbushim Life Plus" initiative, a key citizen-oriented project under the 8th popularly elected administration.

The project site was selected after a joint on-site assessment was conducted by the Bukbu and Nambu Police Stations at four locations: Myeongchon 7-gil in Buk-gu, Ulsan College in Mugeo-dong, Nam-gu, the Women's Safe Return Home Street in Dal-dong, Nam-gu (around Daldong Jugong Apartment Complex 1), and the Crime Prevention Reinforcement Zone in Dal-dong, Nam-gu (around Samsan Jung-ro 6-gil). Ultimately, the "Women's Safe Return Home Street in Dal-dong, Nam-gu" was chosen as the final site.

At this location, five types of address information facilities were installed together for the first time in Korea: LED road name signs, LED building base number plates, luminous building number plates, road name promotional lighting (logo projectors), and movie lights.

The total project cost was 282 million KRW, funded by the Fire Safety Subsidy Tax.

Ulsan City initially began construction on Section 1 of Samsan Jung-ro on May 8 with a budget of 162 million KRW and completed it on June 27.

Subsequently, an additional 120 million KRW was secured through a supplementary budget, and construction on Dalsam-ro and Hwaham-ro was carried out from October 1 and completed on October 29.

With the completion of this project, the "Women's Safe Return Home Street in Dal-dong, Nam-gu" has been transformed into a brightly lit street at night, and is expected to deliver various benefits including nighttime crime prevention, the creation of a safer walking environment, improvement of the urban landscape, and increased awareness of address information facilities.

A city official stated, "We will continue to expand the urban environment so that citizens can feel safe even at night," adding, "Based on an analysis of outcomes such as changes in crime reporting rates, we plan to expand the project to all Women's Safe Return Home Streets across Ulsan starting in 2026."

Currently, there are a total of 38 Women's Safe Return Home Streets and Crime Prevention Reinforcement Zones designated by the National Police Agency operating in Ulsan.

Last month, in celebration of the 80th anniversary of Police Day, Ulsan City received a certificate of appreciation from the Nambu Police Station, and plans to continue prioritizing related projects in areas vulnerable to crime.
