BenefitsLocal governments, elected officials, municipal lawyers, zoning and building officials, and professional planners face increasing litigation threats due to the proliferation of digital signs. One national expert has predicted a wave of litigation at localities across the country that is trying to maintain attractive communities and prevent visual blight. What is the role of the
Federal Highway
Administration in controlling digital signs that create distractions to drivers and degrade aesthetics? What tricks are used by the billboard industry to secure permits from local officials to build or operate unlawful digital signs? How can local governments take steps now to protect themselves from being the targets of the sign code shakedown scheme? A bad decision for one municipality today can lead to even worse outcomes in the future for other municipalities. Please join us in learning how to defeat the sign code shakedown.
