No billboards without prior approval

Abu Dhabi authorities have told companies to get prior official approval before installing any billboard on the emirate’s roads and warned offenders would be fined and tried, press reports said on Saturday.

The Abu Dhabi municipality said all those seeking to put up billboards for commercial and other purposes on roads must submit an application at the concerned division in the municipality or they will face action.

In a statement carried by the semi official daily Alittihad, the municipality said the measure is intended to protect the image of the emirate and ensure no lingual mistakes are done in such boards.

“Those who fail to get prior approval will be fined and referred to the municipality’s court…the board will also be immediately removed,” it said.
