In Lampung, a billboard in front of the Lampung High Court, Jl. Wolter Monginsidi was also reported to have collapsed. The billboard collapsed at noon and caused no casualties and injuries as it fell into the yard.

The four incidents of the billboard collapse were caused by strong winds that hit them. In addition to natural factors, there are also technical factors that make billboards likely to collapse, such as the age of the support poles, the billboard width that is too large and is in an area with high wind intensity, construction errors and other things.

Of course, incidents caused by nature cannot be denied and blamed. However, this can be prevented by the actions of the billboard location owners who are diligent in carrying out good maintenance and assessment. Some billboard collapse events can be caused by billboard managers who are ignorant of the billboard conditions. Of course, this can no longer happen, because the majority of billboard locations are on the side of the road where many people and vehicles pass. This neglectful behavior can harm the surrounding community and even cause casualties.
