I would love that! I think Maine has to a ban on them. They seem outdated as a means of advertisement anyway.

Yes, but my point was that if billboards are legal in NJ, these DOT signs should be too. They're really not difficult to read and process quickly.

Seemed to be the case for a while there. I saw a ton of these posted from cellphone cameras for a few weeks there.

If this is one of the reasons, the Feds should at least say so. Otherwise, it just seems childish to tell states to cut it out for no reason.
