Billboards should not obstruct the view of city landmarks and their placement will be banned in some locations
The Bratislava City Council has approved clear and uniform rules for street advertising in the Slovak capital. For the first time in the modern history of the city, councillors have included the regulation of advertising structures directly in the zoning plan through changes and additions. This will put an end to the chaotic placement of billboards and other structures which interfere with the quality of urban spaces, reports the municipal website.
In Bratislava, it will no longer be possible to install an advertising structure in a zone where this is not permitted by the zoning plan. Advertising structures which are legally placed according to the existing rules will not be affected, but after the expiration of their licenses their number will be gradually reduced.
However, strong action will be taken against players operating illegal advertising structures who are not willing to reach agreement with the city. In such cases, the city government vows to submit the case to the district building authorities and file lawsuits. The legal action may take years, but will ultimately cleanse Bratislava of advertisements that do not belong to the streets, say the councillors.
Thanks to constructive agreements or submissions to building authorities and courts, the city managed to remove 411 advertising billboards in 2021 alone.
