Hang a banner
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.

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.
