Budapest removes election posters from bridges
City-owned road and bridge maintenance company Budapest Közút announced on Wednesday that it has begun removing election posters placed on the structural elements of bridges in the city.
According to the statement, posters attached to key bridge components, such as support cables, pylons, railings, or deck structures, violate regulations and will be taken down without prior notice.
The company emphasised that no foreign objects may be placed on bridge structures, citing safety and maintenance concerns. It has therefore asked all political parties and campaign organisations to refrain from using these areas for advertising.
At the same time, authorities clarified that posters may still be placed on streetlight poles located on bridges, but only with prior co-ordination.
In such cases, campaign actors must contact Budapest Közút for permission.
