hoardings
Large roadside advertisements
Hoardings is the British term for large outdoor advertising boards, what Americans call billboards.
These structures typically line roadsides and cover building facades, displaying commercial advertisements.
The word can also refer to temporary wooden fences or barriers erected around construction sites, which themselves often become surfaces for advertisements or public notices.
The city council debated restrictions on hoardings along the motorway.
