A person as referred to in one of the following items must obtain permission from the chief of the police station with jurisdiction over the place where the activity set forth in the relevant item would take place (hereinafter referred to as the "competent police station chief" in this Section; if the location of the activity would be under the jurisdiction of two or more chiefs of police under the management of the same public safety commission, the person must obtain permission from one of the competent police station chiefs; the same applies hereinafter in this Section):
次の各号のいずれかに該当する者は、それぞれ当該各号に掲げる行為について当該行為に係る場所を管轄する警察署長（以下この節において「所轄警察署長」という。）の許可（当該行為に係る場所が同一の公安委員会の管理に属する二以上の警察署長の管轄にわたるときは、そのいずれかの所轄警察署長の許可。以下この節において同じ。）を受けなければならない。
a person seeking to do road construction or roadwork, or the contractor for that construction or work;
道路において工事若しくは作業をしようとする者又は当該工事若しくは作業の請負人
a person seeking to erect a stone monument, bronze statue, advertising board, arch, or similar structure on a road;
道路に石碑、銅像、広告板、アーチその他これらに類する工作物を設けようとする者
a person seeking to open an outdoor booth, food stall, or similar shop on a road in a permanent location; and
場所を移動しないで、道路に露店、屋台店その他これらに類する店を出そうとする者
a person, other than as set forth in the preceding items, seeking to undertake an activity such as holding a festival or filming on location on a road which would involve persons using the road by passing down it in a configuration or manner that would have a serious effect on public traffic, or seeking to undertake an activity that would cause people to gather and thereby have a serious effect on public traffic, if the public safety commission prescribes that activity as one for which a person must obtain permission, having found that this is necessary, based on area road or traffic conditions, in order to prevent road hazards or to otherwise ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic.
If a person has applied for the permission referred to in the preceding paragraph and the activity that the application is for is as referred to in one of the following items, the competent police station chief must permit the activity:
it is found to be unlikely to obstruct traffic;
当該申請に係る行為が現に交通の妨害となるおそれがないと認められるとき。
it is found to be unlikely to obstruct traffic if it is undertaken in accordance with conditions attached to the permission; or
当該申請に係る行為が許可に付された条件に従つて行なわれることにより交通の妨害となるおそれがなくなると認められるとき。
it is likely to obstruct traffic, but the public interest or custom serves as a compelling circumstance.
当該申請に係る行為が現に交通の妨害となるおそれはあるが公益上又は社会の慣習上やむを得ないものであると認められるとき。
On finding it to be necessary to do so, the competent police station chief who gives permission under paragraph (1) may attach to the permission the necessary conditions to prevent road hazards or otherwise ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic, unless the activity to which the permission pertains falls under item (i) of the preceding paragraph.
The competent police station chief may make changes or add to the conditions attached pursuant to the preceding paragraph, if it becomes particularly necessary to do so in order to prevent road hazards or otherwise ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic.
If a person that has obtained the permission under paragraph (1) violates a condition under the preceding two paragraphs or if it becomes particularly necessary to do so in order to prevent road hazards or otherwise ensure the safety and fluidity of traffic, the competent police station chief may revoke the permission or suspend its validity.
Before taking a measure under the preceding paragraph with regard to a person that has violated a condition under paragraph (3) or (4), the competent police station chief must first notify the person of the date, time, and place for giving an explanation and the reason that the measure would be taken, as well as providing the person with an opportunity to submit an explanation of the matter at issue and evidence in the person's favor; provided, however, that this does not apply if circumstances urgently compel that the competent police station chief do otherwise in order to prevent a traffic hazard.
A person that has obtained permission pursuant to paragraph (1) must promptly remove the structure or take other measures to restore the road to its original state if the period of the permission is of limited duration and expires, or if the permission is revoked pursuant to paragraph (5).
