Standardized bilingual road signs will appear on Guangzhou streets starting next year.
The Guangzhou Municipal Urban Planning Bureau will invest 3.55 million yuan (US$429,600) to upgrade the existing road signs to help residents and visitors.
The traffic-planning institute started researching the program last July near parks. New road signs will be in English and Chinese. Public facilities, schools, hospitals and government departments will use white signs on blue plates and tourism sites and shopping malls will have white signs on brown plates.
There will also be new road signs for the Guangdong Provincial Government, Guangzhou's city government, people's congress and Beijing Road pedestrian street.
Guangzhou residents and visitors say some existing road signs don't show road name changes and some unsuccessfully adopted a mixed system of English and pinyin.
