WHAT IS LAMPPOST ADVERTISING?
Lamppost advertising is a form of Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising that uses advertising panels or banners installed on selected authorised lamppost or streetlight structures along roads, streets, commercial districts and other public-facing environments.
Lamppost advertising is often planned as a sequence of multiple advertising units along a road or defined area, allowing the same campaign creative or a series of messages to appear across several consecutive locations.
In Abu Dhabi, available lamppost advertising locations, number of poles, display dimensions, single- or double-sided configurations and campaign periods vary according to the individual advertising network, current media inventory and applicable approvals.

LAMPPOST ADVERTISING RULES & APPROVALS IN ABU DHABI
Authorised Lamppost Advertising Locations
Lamppost advertising should only use authorised advertising structures and approved locations. The presence of streetlight poles along a road, community or public area does not automatically mean that commercial advertising can be installed on them.
Available roads, poles, number of units and campaign periods should be confirmed against current authorised advertising inventory before booking or production.
Advertising Content & Artwork
Advertising creative should comply with applicable UAE and Abu Dhabi advertising requirements together with the specifications of the selected lamppost advertising network.
Final artwork should be prepared according to the required dimensions, orientation, resolution, materials and production specifications. Creative may require approval before printing, production or installation.
Installation, Materials & Road Safety
Lamppost banners, mounting systems and installation methods should comply with the technical and safety requirements applicable to the selected advertising assets.
Advertising should not obstruct traffic signs or signals, interfere with driver visibility, compromise pedestrian movement or create unsafe conditions. Installation, maintenance, replacement and removal should follow the requirements applicable to the individual lamppost network.
Media-Owner & Authority Requirements
Approval and technical requirements vary according to the location, advertising network and party responsible for the media asset. Campaigns may be subject to requirements from the relevant authority, municipality, property or community operator, media owner or authorised advertising operator.
Advertisers should confirm current inventory, artwork specifications, installation requirements, applicable approvals and campaign dates before execution.
