dUSt Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 http://www.scenic.org/billboards-a-sign-control I wish there was a law against roadside billboards. They are all visual pollution. Road spam. If these states weren't so inconvenient to live in, I would seriously move to them for this reason alone: Vermont - Removed all billboards in 1970sHawaii - Removed all billboards in 1920sMaine - Removed all billboards in 1970s and early 80sAlaska - State referendum passed in 1998 prohibits billboards I don't understand why more states and communities don't ban billboards. They are just turrible. Vermont highway: Texas highway: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NadaTeTurbe Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Right. Here, the mayor of a city removed all the billboards, and while the city is not super pretty, it's really enjoyable to walk in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I do remember Texas being particularly terrible about billboards. And I agree they should be banned. But I also think that I should be allowed to put a note on my mailbox that says "No solicitations, please", and postal workers would be obligated to respect my wishes to NOT receive junk mail. Junk mail actually ENTERS YOUR HOME. That's a private place. They have NO right to advertise in it. Edited October 22, 2015 by Gabriela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Um without billboards how would I know how far til the next Whattaburger?!?!?!?!?! This is extremely important info!

HopefulHeart Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I always know when I've crossed from NY into Pennsylvania when billboards for fireworks outlets start popping up everywhere. I agree that billboards should be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintOfVirtue Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Come to think of it I haven't seen as many billboards in NY as CA. It's much nicer that way; except the pot-holes, NY has got to fix that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisChildForever Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I dislike the billboards that are neon bright and change like a television screen. Also, a couple years ago a billboard spoiled a TV show that I was one episode behind on. It was a significant spoiler too smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysostom Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I always thought the "The Thing???" sign on the way from California across the southern states was pretty entertaining. But I get what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
