This will vary according to where you live and you need to check your local zoning laws and the state zoning laws. It varies widely from controlled to none allowed.

Specifics regarding permissible billboards are determined by local zoning ordinances and state/local DOT regulations. It is impossible to provide even approximate figures (regarding size, color, quantity, etc) because of variation.

Zoning laws concerning billboards will likely vary from state to state, and depend on the type of roadway on which they are being placed. Billboards may not be placed on residential property.

The laws vary, depending on the state/county/city in which the advertisement is located. There are restrictions regarding the size of billboards, how far apart they are spaced, how far they are set from the highway and whether they can create a safety hazard. The Highway Beautification Act (1965) established guidelines, which some states and cities then expanded upon.
