Digital Signs

How have your cities dealt with Commercial Digital Signage and Permitting? How to limit without limiting speech.

If the speech can foreseeably be seen as being objectionanable, yet the business is not, the billboard company or the city, or both, can just limit the amount of time it's shown and rotated through in a specified time frame. Just charge them less than the industry standard times.

They can just chalk up the decision to limited ad space. Prove them wrong. Picture a newspaper with ads on one page, some are big, some are small. E-Billboards are just electronic ad space. They can't all be the same size.

Our city does not permit off-premises advertising. Therefore, everything posted on the electronic sign must be associated with the company that owns the sign. The exception is the time of day or the weather.

That's a good way to curtail to the amount of electronic billboards. No one can claim bias and light pollution is kept to a minimum.
