My wife nearly had an accident because of a huge ad billboard that suddenly displayed huge roaring flames, to advertise for some steakhouse.
My general feeling is that these sort of intrusive, dangerous, anti-ecological (such a billboard consumes as much power as a family of 4), anti-social (one less worker to change billboards) ads should be banned, period.
- kalium-xyz 6y agoWhat do you think about e-ink billboards?
- zimpenfish 6y agoI worked at a place trying to do roadside LED billboards (~2009 before they were common) and the rules about content (in the UK, at the time) were fairly strict - nothing animated, no cuts only fades even between distinct adverts, etc. From what I've seen of the fancy new ones, those rules seem to be mostly still around (in London anyway.)
- chungus_khan 6y agoThey also needlessly drive up land value around major roads, and I don't feel much sympathy for companies that subsist off of simply owning said eyesores.
