So advertisements beside roads should be banned?
- heywire 12y agoMy opinion is yes, it is a real distraction. Especially now with digital billboards.
- tlrobinson 12y agoAnd peach-shaped water towers?
- tomswartz07 12y agoAh, I think we've all seen House of Cards.
- DasIch 12y agoIn Germany advertisments beside the Autobahn are banned.
- kachnuv_ocasek 12y agoThey're being outlawed in Czechia, too.
- masklinn 12y agoIn France they're illegal around (and visible from) express roads (roads with central separators and at least 2 lanes each ways, generally limited to 110km/h) and highways (same but with more stringent sizing specs, extensive shoulders and usually speed-limited to 130km/h), within 40 meters in cities and 200 meters outside.
- stannol 12y agoThey're completely banned on the Autobahn and even on normal roads all ads have to be approved.
- ogig 12y agoThey are also banned out of urban zones in Spain. There is a survivor sign that was allowed to stay, "El Toro de Osborne". That's how we do it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_bull http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_bull
- RankingMember 12y agoI think so, yes, but I feel this way primarily for aesthetic reasons. I actually find those permanent-installation LED government road signs warning of lane closures and advising of average travel times to be worse because the angle at which they're viewable tends to be terrible and require you to pay more attention to read them than they should.
- fletchowns 12y agoYes, especially the super bright flashing ones. Extremely distracting.
