Obtain a comprehensive overview of the law governing outdoor signs.
Many people who consider erecting outdoor signs do not fully understand the process and the requirements surrounding them. This topic seeks to explain the procedure to erect an outdoor sign and will describe the objector's view in the process. The material also explains regulations and laws surrounding outdoor signs such as the Highway Beautification Act and the First Amendment. It will provide an overview in the regulation of commercial and noncommercial speech and describe some of the different methodologies in applying the regulations throughout different jurisdictions. The topic will also describe the challenges municipalities face with the increase in bill-board signs such as a higher risk in lawsuits.
