When a road occupancy permit is required
Posted: May 2021, 7
The continued use of a road, such as when installing utility poles on the road, is called "occupation of the road."
Occupation of roads includes not only the installation of facilities above ground, but also the installation of electrical, telephone, gas, etc. conduits buried underground, and the installation of signboards protruding above the road.
Where should I apply for "road occupation"? An application is made to the "road administrator (country, prefecture, municipality)" that manages the road, and the road administrator issues permission.
The standard processing time for obtaining an occupancy permit is within 2 to 3 weeks from the time of receipt.
