Criteria for permission to occupy roads at restaurants Relaxed until November 14:35 New Corona New Corona June 5
As part of measures to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has made special provisions on the standard for permitting the exclusive use of roads so that restaurants can set up terrace seats on the road ahead of the store or make it easier to take out. It will be relaxed.
When putting things on the road, it is legally necessary to have the permission of the road administrator, but according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, at present, when restaurants set up tables etc. at the storefront, they are required to put it on the premises, It means that use is often not allowed.
However, as many restaurants want to set up terrace seats and take-out counters in well-ventilated storefronts as part of infection control measures, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has decided to open the road until the end of November. To make it easier to use, we have decided to loosen the standards for private use permission.
Applications for private use permission are accepted not from individual stores, but from organizations such as local governments and local town development councils, and only for the purpose of preventing infection.
It is also required to secure a certain width according to traffic volume so as not to obstruct traffic and pedestrians.
On the other hand, the occupancy fee paid to the road administrator is exempted on condition that you cooperate in cleaning the neighborhood.
Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said at the conference on the 5th, "We would like to support a new business model that uses a road space and respond to a new lifestyle, and work on it nationwide."
