Bismarck, N.D. – The City of Bismarck’s Engineering Department is issuing a reminder to residents and businesses about the importance of adhering to advertising restrictions in the public right of way.
Keeping boulevards clear of obstructions is essential for ensuring the safety and convenience of all members of the community.
Unauthorized advertising in the right of way is strictly prohibited, as it can pose significant hazards to pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
The right of way typically refers to the area from the back of the sidewalk on one side of the street to the back of the sidewalk on the opposite side, including the grassed boulevard that often lies between the sidewalk and the curb.
The City encourages residents and businesses to be mindful of these guidelines and to report any suspected unauthorized advertising in the right of way.
By working together, the community can help maintain a safe and accessible environment for everyone.
