Pyeongtaek City Completes Road Name Address Marker Installation at Pyeongtaek River

[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Suwon Reporter] Pyeongtaek City announced on the 18th that it has completed the installation of new 'road name address basic markers' on the Pyeongtaek River bicycle path.

Basic address markers are signposts that use road names and basic numbers to guide locations in areas without buildings or along roadsides.

The city changed the road names in response to the opinion that as the number of citizens using the Pyeongtaek River bicycle path increases, easy-to-understand road names are needed for convenient rescue and emergency response activities during urgent situations. The previous names 'Pyeongtaek Lake Circular Bicycle Path 1, 2, Anseong Stream Bicycle Path 1, 2' were changed to 'Pyeongtaek River North Bicycle Path, Pyeongtaek River South Bicycle Path, Pyeongtaek River East Bicycle Path' to reflect regional names and directions.

The newly installed basic address markers display directional information in the upper left and feature fluorescent borders to enhance visibility, allowing users to easily identify their location and significantly contributing to accident prevention and emergency response on the bicycle path.

A city official stated, "We plan to install additional LED solar basic address markers by the end of September to enhance safety and usability of the Pyeongtaek River bicycle path," and added, "Next year, we will develop ways to promote citizen cultural activities by utilizing QR codes to guide citizens to attractions in each section of the bicycle path."
