The Ministry of Environment has given businesses 15 days as of Sunday, 9 April 2017, to remove illegal billboards and signposts on highways. Minister Francisco Dominguez Brito says the action seeks to rescue the ecological corridors of the country. He says once the term expires, they will remove these eyesores all along the nation’s highways.
According to Dominguez Brito, by ordering the removal of illegal signage, the Ministry of the Environment is applying provisions in Traffic Law 241-67 and Environment Law 64-00.
He said that the Ground Transit Agency (DGTT) will set the maximum dimensions of the signs and other advertisements and strictly enforce regulations that establish the minimum allowable distance between signs along the highway.
