I hate to tell you.....this is already a thing with drivers. Las Vegas is infamous for this, and I have seen them in other large cities too. And the issue you describe happens as well. The Car with billboards want to drive as slow as they can for that reason, and it directly competes with folks who are trying to get from point A to Point B

Fortunately the regulatory way out is easy. Forbid ads on vehicles.

  Like all politics, it's not so simple. What qualifies as an ad? Should Walmart and Amazon discontinue their corporate logo (and sometimes produce) on their semi-trucks? Many large companies put a lot of thought into the branding on their vehicles: a law forbidding that will not get passed without a fight. Here's some real-world examples: https://news.walmart.com/_download?id=00000141-101d-d62e-a3c3-dbbdf9f70000 https://news.walmart.com/_download?id=00000141-101d-d62e-a3c... https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/58fe073f0ba0b8ce018b57b8-750-562.jpg https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/58fe073f0ba0b8ce018b5... http://newsroom.meijer.com/Media/Default/images/broll%201.JPG http://newsroom.meijer.com/Media/Default/images/broll%201.JP...

  Respectfully, I think that would cause a lot more trouble than the problem. Would that mean the license plate ads are illegal? Or the Dealers stickers? Or would branding for cars be ads? And many commercial trucks have ads for their trucks. While I despise seeing those Ad trucks, I think making them illegal would cause more problems than it solves.
