(Baonghean) – Walking around many streets in Vinh city, it is not difficult to see billboards installed everywhere, with many colors and large sizes, covering the facade, causing loss of urban beauty, not ensuring fire safety, and even affecting traffic safety...
 |
According to Article 32 of the 2012 Advertising Law, the size of signs of organizations and individuals engaged in production and business activities is regulated: for horizontal signs, the maximum height is 2m, the length must not exceed the width of the house facade. |
 |
For vertical signs, the maximum width is 1m, the maximum height is 4m but must not exceed the height of the floor where the sign is placed. However, in reality, many people ignore these regulations when installing signs and advertising signs for their businesses. |
 |
On Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street, large signs cover the entire facade of the business. |
 |
Or on Tran Phu street, houses are crowded together with large billboards, turning their houses into boxes with only one exit. |
 |
Most of these outdoor signs and billboards are made from flammable materials, accompanied by a tangled lighting system and electrical wires that are prone to leakage and short circuits due to the weather. |
 |
It seems that the bigger the brand and name of the business, the bigger, wider and more magnificent the billboard must be. |
 |
Also according to the 2012 Advertising Law, signs are not allowed to block emergency exits, fire escapes, etc., but in reality, it is difficult to find an emergency exit for this house when the sign covers the entire house from the 1st to the 3rd floor. |
 |
Standing from the outside, it is difficult to tell how many floors the tallest building in the picture has because the entire facade is covered by brand names. |
 |
There is a clear lesson from the fire that killed 13 people in Hanoi, but many karaoke businesses in Vinh City are still covered in advertising billboards. |
 |
Not only does it pose many potential risks of fire and explosion, the widespread and unregulated installation of advertising signs also greatly affects urban aesthetics. Some advertising signs even block the view, affecting traffic safety. |
