Where Competition Is Dense, Visibility Must Be Intentional

Edmonton’s commercial landscape is layered with restaurants, clinics, retailers, and service providers often located within the same plaza or corridor.

Digital signage adds movement and flexibility in environments where customers are exposed to dozens of competing messages.

Real-time content ensures your business remains current rather than static.

In a city where perception matters, a modern LED display reinforces credibility and activity before customers even enter your space.

The OnSite LED Sign Process in Edmonton

Digital signage in Edmonton requires careful planning around zoning, brightness regulations, traffic visibility, and electrical integration. We manage each step in a coordinated process to ensure compliance and performance.

Site check and local code review

We assess zoning, site visibility, residential proximity, and determine whether your project qualifies as a Minor or Major Digital Sign under Edmonton’s bylaw. We also review brightness requirements, message duration standards, and potential traffic safety considerations before design begins.

Custom design

We determine appropriate screen size, resolution, pixel pitch, and structural integration based on traffic conditions and regulatory limits, including 400-nit brightness compliance and message duration rules.

Fabrication and Technical Integration

If required, we coordinate engineer-authenticated structural design and prepare documentation aligned with APEGA standards. Fabrication is completed using systems designed for Alberta conditions.

Install and final approval

We complete installation, electrical integration, ambient light calibration, and final inspections. Brightness and content timing are set to meet municipal requirements before handover.

Local Compliance and Permitting

Digital signs in Edmonton are regulated under the Zoning Bylaw and classified as either Minor Digital Signs or Major Digital Signs.

Minor Digital Signs require a minimum 6-second message duration and do not permit animation, video, or transition effects.

Major Digital Signs may allow motion and video, but are subject to additional review.

Applications must confirm:

  • Ambient light monitors are installed
  • Brightness levels do not exceed 400 nits
  • Structural design meets engineering standards
  • All required site plans and elevation drawings are provided


In some cases, a traffic safety study may be required to evaluate potential impacts on drivers, pedestrians, and nearby intersections.

We prepare the required documentation, coordinate engineering submissions, and ensure your application aligns with Edmonton’s digital sign requirements before installation.
