About road occupation of protruding signboard

When protruding a signboard such as a store on the road, permission and private use fee are required.

A specific person installs a protruding signboard above the road and continuously uses the road. In that case, permission from the road manager is required. Private use standards and private use charges are as follows.

1. The lower end of the signboard from the road surface must be 2.5m or more on the sidewalk and 4.5m or more on the road.
2. The output width is 1.0m or less.
3. It should not be similar to traffic lights or road signs.

Those that meet the standards must be approved by application and pay the private use fee.

Those that do not conform to the standards should be improved as soon as possible to properly use roads, which are public spaces, and to create comfortable road spaces.

Private use fees vary depending on the area of the property you occupy.

※ Small and medium-sized enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises stipulated in Article 2 of the Small and Medium Enterprise Basic Law. ("Definition of SMEs" (outside site) To the website of the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency)

(Exit width) X (length) x (Number of surfaces) = (Occupation area)
0.6m x 2.4m x 2 sides = 2.88m2 → 3.0ｍ2

※ The area is calculated based on the display area, so it usually consists of two sides.

3,000 yen x 3.0m2 = 9,000 yen

You may be punished according to the provisions of the Road Law. For proper use of the road, please apply for a permit application.
