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.
