Abstract
Abstract Communities ask the American Planning Association's Planning Advisory Service about regulating billboards and signs more often than any other type of land use, except vehicular parking.1 Indeed, communities are quite concerned with the aesthetic and safety impacts of signs and billboards, and they are understandably puzzled over how to deal with the myriad types of signs and sign messages. Communities typically deal with signs by classifying them on the basis of, among other things, content, although these traditional methods of regulating signs cause legal, administrative, and enforcement problems. This commentary proposes avoiding the problems associated with regulation by classification of sign content by using content-neutral sign regulations.
