Watered-Down Roadside Bill Presented in Annapolis
In Annapolis February a watered down roadside bill proposes banning commercial advertising along controlled highways and expressways. The measure, sponsored by the Stats Roads Commission, would be amended to apply only to expressways, with implications for major routes such as the Baltimore Washington Expressway and the beltways. The bill aims to curb billboards within 600 feet of expressways and remove existing signs within three years, arguing to protect scenic beauty and safety. A group of garden club representatives backed the bill for esthetic and economic reasons, while opponents argued Maryland law already allows SRC action and questioned federal aid needs. Senate Finance hearings, including testimony from Outdoor Advertising Association and others, continued amid procedural snags.
