Iowa lawmakers push new billboard control measure on Inter states
Rep Paul Knowles of Scott county and six other house members filed a bill to regulate billboards along interstate highways. The plan allows only specific signs within 660 feet of roads including directional official signs, informational signs for motorists, and ads for nearby property. The move echoes a Muscatine poll showing strong public support to outlaw interstate billboards, with potential to boost highway funding from the federal government by about one million dollars.
