Aesthetics

Billboards are part of America’s culture and visual fabric. Federal, state and local laws regulate the size, lighting and spacing of billboards. American public opinion supports the idea that billboards should be regulated fairly, not banned.

Debates about visual appeal are as old as art itself. But concerns about aesthetics should not be used as a ruse to block the promotion of legal products or stifle free expression that is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
