digital billboards

Lit roadside screens

Digital billboards are large outdoor advertising displays that use LED or LCD screens instead of printed materials.

Unlike traditional billboards, they can rotate multiple advertisements, change content remotely, and update in real time: The digital billboard switched from a car ad to an Amber Alert.

They're common along highways and in urban centers, though some communities restrict them as visual pollution or traffic hazards.
