Southern Municipality proposes billboard study

The Bahraini Ministry of Industry and Commerce is currently working on preparing a study to regulate commercial advertising boards, with the aim of establishing unified standards and guidelines for the sizes, designs, and locations of signs. This initiative seeks to enhance the aesthetic appearance and reduce visual clutter in commercial areas. It comes as a response to a proposal from the Southern Municipal Council, which suggested standardizing and coordinating the content and designs of commercial advertisements. The goal is to strengthen urban identity and limit large, mismatched signs that negatively impact the visual appeal of storefronts. The proposed guidelines include regulating the use of languages on signs to ensure the presence of Arabic alongside English, taking into consideration the nature of each area. The project is not intended to restrict commercial activities but to improve urban scenery organization and support fairness among shop owners.
