To truly accommodate 1 million foreign tourists coming to Daegu each year, Daegu has corrected all road guide sings in each district. Totally 1,056 signs were revised to follow national Romanization guidelines so that the same nouns are spelled the same anywhere on the sign. If you spot an error, please contact the Road department at Daegu City Hall 053-803-4814 or you can message us through facebook. (click here to see our facebook page)
