Street signs in Seoul will be in four languages and feature a unified design, the Seoul Metropolitan Government said Wednesday. That will mean replacing 144,134 street signs in the city by 2016.

The city said it will also standardize foreign words used to describe different administrative areas, natural sites, traffic signs and cultural and sports facilities.

The first 80,000 signs to be replaced will be in Myeong-dong, Jongno, Dongdaemun, Jamsil and Itaewon, which are the five special tourism zones, as well as the popular tourist attractions of Bukchon Hanok Village and Namsan Park.
