Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety
What decided it
The proposal would not have a detrimental impact on highway safety given good forward visibility, moderate traffic speeds, the peripheral nature of the screens' visibility from main roads, and the absence of a firm link between nearby accidents and advertisements.
