BILLBOARD TRAFFIC DIRECTION & ADVERTISING FACE
Billboard locations on Sheikh Zayed Road can have different advertising faces depending on the structure and road alignment. A billboard may face traffic travelling towards Downtown Dubai and northern Dubai or towards Dubai Marina, Jebel Ali and Abu Dhabi.

SHEIKH ZAYED ROAD BILLBOARD RULES & APPROVALS
Billboard advertising on Sheikh Zayed Road should use authorised advertising assets and comply with the requirements applicable to the specific billboard location, media owner and advertising format. Requirements can vary according to the billboard structure, advertising face, traffic direction and individual site.
Authorised Billboard Locations
Billboards should only be displayed on authorised advertising structures and approved locations. A roadside, building, rooftop or other visible location along Sheikh Zayed Road should not automatically be considered available for billboard advertising.
Exact billboard locations, dimensions, advertising faces and current availability should be confirmed before booking or production.
Advertising Content & Artwork
Advertising creative should comply with applicable UAE and Dubai advertising requirements together with the specifications of the selected billboard.
Final artwork should be prepared according to the required dimensions, resolution, materials and production specifications. Creative may require approval before printing, production or display.
Road & Traffic Safety
Billboard advertising along Sheikh Zayed Road should comply with applicable road and traffic-safety requirements. Advertising should not obstruct traffic signs or signals, interfere with driver visibility or create unsafe conditions for road users.
The position, orientation, viewing direction and advertising face of the individual billboard can therefore affect the requirements applicable to the site.
Media-Owner & Authority Requirements
Approval and technical requirements depend on the specific billboard location and advertising asset. Campaigns may be subject to the requirements of the relevant authority, media owner, property owner or authorised media operator.
Advertisers should confirm the applicable approvals, billboard specifications, advertising face, production requirements and current media availability before campaign execution.
