What is the indispensable requirement to carry out works or install objects, whether permanently or temporarily, on public roads?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations, any alteration to the road, whether due to roadworks or the placement of objects (such as dumpsters, scaffolding, or furniture), mandatorily requires prior authorization from the road owner. The owner is the entity that owns the road (State, Regional Government, Province, or Municipality). This rule applies to both permanent and temporary installations to ensure that road safety and traffic flow are not compromised. A simple verbal notice or the temporary nature of the object does not exempt one from this legal obligation.
