Highland Council - [Requirements + Shopfront Design Guide]
In urban areas all boards/advertising etc must be placed at the rear of the footway.
Signs must be sited immediately outside the business being advertised.
Comment
Guide dogs and visually impaired cane users depend on a clear kerb to follow.
Examples
In High Street, some advertising signs are placed in the bollard line.
In addition, these A-boards are often set to straddle a bollard.
In effect, they are fixed to street furniture.
This may be intended as a safer position but it breaks two of the equirements.
