What is it?

If you want to hang a banner on a public road, you need permission from the municipality. For example, if you want to announce an event or convey a specific message.

How does it work?

If you want to hang a banner, ask yourself the following:

  • Is normal use of the road possible?
  • Is the safety of pedestrians and other traffic at risk?
  • Will this cause any inconvenience to nearby residents?
  • Could the message be offensive to others?
  • Is it spoiling the streetscape?

Please note! The municipality may refuse to allow commercial advertising on banners.

What should I do?

You must ask the municipality for permission to hang your banner. Include the following information in your application:

  • Why you want to hang the banner
  • where you would like to hang your banner
  • When and for how long you will display the banner
  • how big the banner is
  • a drawing or a photo of the banner

How long does it take?

You will be notified within 8 weeks whether your request has been approved.

Additional information

The municipality may require that your banner be wind- and/or air-permeable. Please also note the following:

  • Make sure to secure the banner properly.
  • Be careful not to damage trees, walls, or lampposts.
  • Make sure the banner is weather-resistant.
