Key legal question
Whether the refusal of the billboard permit was lawful under Art. 6 SVG and Art. 95 ff. SSV because the signs could impair traffic safety.
Extracted holding
Yes. The planned billboards could impair traffic safety under the concrete local circumstances, so the permit was properly refused.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that even a potential or indirect hazard is sufficient. It deferred to the cantonal court's fact-finding, which was based on the site inspection, sight-line data, and the specific location near junctions and in close proximity to the roadway.
