Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety

What decided it

The combination of operational restrictions on the digital display, the low cognitive demand created by recent highway improvements, and the absence of any recorded accidents involving driver distraction in the vicinity demonstrated that the proposal would not result in unacceptable increased risk to public safety.
