Streetscape Guidance
Building mounted signs
Before affixing a street lamp or traffic sign to a
building, the authority will have to serve notice
in writing on the building’s owner no less than
56 days before the date on which they intend to
commence the works. For further information
please refer to the Code of Practice for Affixing
Traffic Signs and Street Lighting to Buildings in
London (2015) for exercising the powers set out
in section 45 of the Public Health Act 1961 and
section 74 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act
1984 as amended by clause 4 of the London
Local Authorities and Transport for London
(No. 2) Bill.

Low level signage
• Design teams should consider how to
minimise the visual and physical intrusion of
low level signage such as traffic bollards
• Integrating pedestrian and cycle signage within
bollards can be an effective way of reducing
the need for larger post mounted signs
• ‘Keep left’ signs should be provided only
where a road safety audit has identified the
need
