Abstract:One of the pleasures of driving in Florida is enjoying a beautiful and diverse landscape. The quality of this view is critical to a state’s image for visitors and those considering relocation as well as to residents’ enjoyment. To ensure the continued beauty of our highways, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Highway Beautification Act (HBA) in October 1965 as part of an initiative to preserve America’s beauty. The HBA was intended to beautify the Interstate Highway System and other federal-aid roads by controlling outdoor advertisements and screening or removing junkyards. Proper administration of the HBA depends on accurate sign inventories, cooperation of state and local officials, adequate funding for inspection and remediation, among other factors. Issues arising in recent years have led to an inconsistent and inefficient implementation of the HBA.
