Kuwait Municipality has confirmed it is moving to strictly enforce Interior Ministry regulations governing billboard lighting, with a renewed focus on safety along highways and in public areas. The move targets electronic advertisements that exceed permitted brightness levels or fail to meet regulatory standards.
Director General of Kuwait Municipality, Eng. Manal Al-Asfour said the Ministry of Interior has laid down clear technical requirements for lighting power and brightness used in electronic advertising. As per the regulations, brightness levels must remain within a defined limit of 0.3 candles per foot in relation to surrounding ambient light, a standard aimed at reducing glare and visual distraction.
