Pursuant to the Bill (Reg. No.2161), "outdoor advertising can be installed along the roads and streets parallel to the driving direction, and its installation is to be approved by the relevant department of the State body in charge of traffic safety".
However, the Committee believes that "any installation of advertising along the roads and streets can distract the drivers from driving, and therefore endanger traffic safety". Thus, the People´s Deputies deem necessary to take into account the experience of European countries, where advertising can not be installed along the roads and streets, or is installed at some distance from it.
