About road occupation of protruding signboard
Last Updated April 19, 2021
Permission and private use fees are required when protruding signs such as stores on the road.
What is the road occupation of the protruding sign?
A specific person installs a protruding sign above the road and uses the road continuously. In that case, permission from the road administrator is required. Private use standards and private use fees are as follows.
What are the criteria for obtaining permission?
- The lower end of the sign from the road surface must be at least 2.5m on the sidewalk and at least 4.5m on the road.
- The output width is less than 1.0m.
- Do not be similar to traffic lights or road signs.
If you meet the criteria, please obtain permission 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. .
How much is the private use fee?
Private use fees vary depending on the area of the property to be occupied.
1-year private use fee per m2
Applicant | Private use charges |
---|---|
Individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises (* Private use fee will be reduced.) | 3,000 yen, m2/year |
Individuals other than individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises | 14,000 yen, m2/year |
※ Small and medium-sized enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises stipulated in Article 2 of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Basic Law. ("Definition of SMEs" (external site) to the website of the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency)
[Example of calculation] Signboards (both sides), individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises
Occupied area (advanced to the decimal point)
(output width) X (length) x (number of surfaces) = (occupied area)
0.6m x 2.4m x 2 faces = 2.88m2 → 3.0m2
※ The area is calculated based on the display area, so it is usually two sides.
Private use fee (annual amount)
3,000 yen x 3.0m2 = 9,000 yen

You may be punished under the provisions of the Road Law. For proper use of the road, please apply for permission.
