§ 116 Planning and Building Act (PBG) - Advertising Regulation

1. The Government Council enacts an advertising ordinance for the entire territory of the canton. The ordinance regulates the installation and design of outdoor advertisements.

2. The advertising ordinance serves traffic safety and the protection of the local and landscape image, cultural and natural monuments, and scenic viewpoints.

3. It defines the requirement for approval and particularly regulates the placement, design, and maintenance of advertisements, as well as the approval procedure.

4. An appropriate fee may be charged for the approval, where the location, size, and duration of the advertisement's installation are particularly taken into account. The fees are to be specified in the advertising ordinance. Advertising for events of nonprofit associations is exempt from fees, provided that no commercial advertising is displayed simultaneously on the same advertising medium.

5. The Government Council may transfer the authority to approve advertisements, wholly or partially, to the municipality upon request.
