i live in houston which was just hit by a hurricane - one of the upsides being most of the billboards have been shredded, which is a nice improvement over mind polluting ads

The ban* on billboards on Interstate highways was thanks to a famous Texan, Lady Bird Johnson.

* The few you do still see today are legacy billboards that date from when the legislation was passed, around 1965.
