This inspection targets outdoor advertisements such as pole signs, wall-mounted signs, and projecting signs installed on stores in the new town area, where many shops are concentrated, and in the old town area, where many buildings are aging. Based on the inspection results, the city plans to take necessary measures, including removal, for any advertisements found to have significantly low safety levels.

An official from Dongducheon-si said, "Triggered by the recent fatal accident caused by an outdoor advertisement in another city or county, we have decided to proactively move up the safety inspection, which was usually carried out in April every year, to early February this year," adding, "We will do our best to prevent safety accidents that may occur during heavy snowfall and strong winds in advance, and to protect the lives and property of citizens by creating a safe street environment through this inspection."
