Osan City Installs Wall-Mounted Street Signs for Pedestrians

Osan City announced that it has installed 112 wall-mounted street signs through October and plans to install an additional 86 by this month.

Wall-mounted street signs are installed on building pillars or fences at pedestrian eye level, approximately 1 to 1.8 meters high, to help pedestrians navigate side streets and alleyways.

Conventional vehicle-oriented street signs were installed at high locations such as utility poles, requiring pedestrians to look upward. The primary advantage of wall-mounted signs is that anyone passing through the area can easily see them and find their way without difficulty.

A city official said, "Installing wall-mounted street signs will make it much easier to navigate alleyways and other streets," adding, "We will continue to improve operational methods to ensure the full establishment of road-name addresses going forward."
