City Reviews Mobile-Sign Laws

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as the Canadian city of Hamilton is moving to lift some of its restrictions on signs in the city. Some complain that a city bylaw, in force since 2007, hurts small businesses, farmers and even humanitarian causes such as missing-person posters.

The bylaw restricts how long mobile signs can remain, how much colour can be used and where the signs can be placed. Posters, banners and other signage are also covered by the rules. After finishing a review of the new bylaw, city staff are now recommending some rules be revised.

Some of the proposed changes include increasing the mobile-sign permit period and cost, which would translate into a cheaper net daily permit rate; abolishing a permit hiatus period; and quashing rules on colour usage.

Other changes would include allowing A-frame signs to be displayed on road allowances in rural locations without a permit, and not eliminating the need for permits for banners less than one square metre.
