Billboards are fantastic for some kinds of advertising. Like letting you know a big comedian or musician will be in town.

Honestly I like advertising in general, but Targeted ads are the problem. Billboards are the least targeted ad.

Billboards are targeted at a very specific demographic: drivers. They're designed to draw attention away from the road and to whatever it is that they're trying to sell.

That reason alone is enough to ban billboards: we can't tell drivers they're terrible people for glancing at their phone for a second to get directions while simultaneously allowing corporations to plaster the roadway with ads that are deliberately designed to distract them.
