A global movement to ban urban billboards
Billboards are already banned in my state. I'm always struck by how ugly the roads and highways are when I travel to other states.

TFA says "...several US states including Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, and Alaska are billboard-free."

Unsure where the OP lives, but I know that Vermont doesn't have billboards. I've always wondered how they got around the 1st Amendment.

Not all forms of expression are considered free speech under the protection of the First Amendment. Political speech is the most protected (i.e. "Vote for Bob") and commercial speech, particularly advertising, is some of the least protected.
