Have you been to SKKU Suwon campus?
If you will, try finding Sungdae-ro. "Sungdae" indicates abbreviation of "성균관대학교", like SKKU as Sungkyunkwan University. "Ro" means "road" or "way". "Gil (길)" also means the same, but "ro" is usually for the names of location, more likely official use.
Suwon City assigned the honored name Sungdae-ro to the road which is located around 1600m of SKKU’s Natural Science Campus and the botanical garden.
The honor can be given under special circumstances such as corporation installation and international exchanges.
SKKU requested to receive the road name last October. The Committee of Road Name Address reviewed the request and decided to give the name due to recognizing SKKU’s contribution to the city as a landmark of local society; as well as the positive effect the university has had for raising the brand value of Suwon City.
According to the Road Name Address Act, Sungdae-ro will be used in conjunction with the legal road name (Ilwol-ro, Yuljun-ro) for 5 years, which can be extended after a review from the committee.
The exact location of “Sungdae-ro” can be officially found at Road Name Address System, http://www.juso.go.kr.
