Any advertising sign fixed to lampposts and other street furniture may be illegal and we will remove them. We will only allow black on yellow signs to be erected in approved locations on the highway.
We have a policy regarding floral tributes and memorials (PDF) which are placed on the highway. This ensures respectful management of issues while maintaining road safety and appropriate highway maintenance.
