社会｜福岡市がアドトラック規制強化へ / Society | Fukuoka City to Strengthen Regulations on Ad Trucks

Summary

Fukuoka City has announced plans to strengthen regulations regarding ad trucks.

Until now, permits for outdoor advertising installations were limited to vehicles based in the city, but the new policy will also include trucks and buses with license plates from outside the city. The specifics of this ordinance revision will be determined based on the results of a survey to be conducted by March 2026. This may also require changes in strategies for utilizing ad trucks.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: It seems that Fukuoka City is going to strengthen regulations on ad trucks. This means that trucks with out-of-town license plates will also be affected.
Chako: Really? Is that actually happening!? Ad trucks have only been limited to the city until now?
Log: That’s right. From now on, ad trucks from outside the city will also face regulations.
Chako: So, does that mean it will be harder to advertise?
Log: There’s a high possibility of that.
Navi: Since many ad trucks are based outside the city, the strengthening of regulations could lead to changes in advertising strategies.

Admin’s Note

The strengthening of ad truck regulations in Fukuoka City may have a significant impact on the advertising industry. With vehicles from outside the city now subject to these regulations, companies will need to reconsider how they operate their advertising. This is especially true for businesses planning to expand their advertising efforts beyond the local area, as they will need to rethink their strategies. While Chako’s surprised reaction was quite striking, I also want to see how the specific measures will change based on the results of future surveys.
