War on the billboards and California-like roads
In a broad polemic the writer presses the next U.S. administration to emulate Mexico by banning new billboards and removing those existing to safeguard landscape beauty. It contrasts French highway rules and warns of perils from advertising clutter while urging action to defend scenic wonders. The piece also nods to ongoing North American efforts on highway safety and public space, including reflections on the USS Arizona Memorial and public walking events in New York.
