Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on public safety, having particular regard to the effect of the proposed frequency of the changes in the display on the safety of highway users

What decided it

The combination of the advertisement's elevated position, long-distance visibility, and the appellant's unwillingness to accept a 60-second minimum display change frequency would create an unacceptable distraction to drivers on a complex and busy section of highway, adversely affecting public safety.
