According to the new regulation the District Administrative will be in charge of issues relating to the placement of advertising bill-boards.

The proposed rule submitted by the Ulaanbaatar City Governor`s Office is designed to arrange the advertising boards by setting a standard, erasing the bad affect on traffic security and the appearance of the city.

According to the rule some advertising boards will be removed from streets and avenues in the city center and a list of streets, squares and buildings where advertisement bill-boards will be forbidden will be made. There will also be a standard for information boards for organizations, offices, cultural attractions, education, entertainment, banks, institutes, trade and services and auto repair service.

The most important part of the rule is establishing the placement of advertisement bill-boards.
