Banner over roadway permit

Permits are required to install promotional banners on City-owned overpasses. The City will only grant permits for banners promoting non-profit, charitable or public events. All banners on City-owned overpasses must follow the Temporary Signs Bylaw 29M97.

A banner can be displayed for up to two weeks. All banner permits are issued from Sunday to Saturday in two-week increments. Banners must be removed by 5 p.m. on the last Saturday of the permit.

Applications must be submitted a maximum of four months to a minimum of four weeks prior to the desired installation date.

The application must include:

  • A certificate of insurance with $2 million in liability insurance and a 30-day cancellation clause, naming the City of Calgary as additional insured for the period that the banners will be displayed.
  • A current Government of Alberta Corporation non-profit search document (available from a corporate registry).
  • A scaled detailed pdf drawing conforming to the banner design requirements.

Multiple applications within a calendar year are based on availability and at the discretion of the Traffic Engineer. Each application must not be closer than three months apart.
