I would very much like the status quo to be maintained, with no third-party adverts on provincial highways. Whenever I travel to other jurisdictions, particularly the US, I'm always struck by how cluttered the drive can be.

I find billboards VERY distracting when driving. When the election signs are all over the place, it is hard to pay attention to my driving and there are far too many accidents already. I do not want more- I would prefer to see less advertising.

I am vehemently oposed to billboards in Ontario. They are tacky and distracting. We have a very beautiful province and one of the marketable things about Ontario is its natural beauty.

I do not want big ads or billboards polluting our highways and her beautiful scenery. I think citizens should have the right to enjoy nature without companies and businesses trying to sell stuff. Not only that it's distracting for drivers and can cause accidents.

I beleive that the Ontario government must ensure that the advertising clutter in all areas of the province be absolutely minimized, in particular along roadways.
It is visually and intellectually offensive.

Please keep Ontario's scenery uncluttered by billboards! Our motto used to be "keep it beautiful". Let's live up to that.

Not only are billboards ugly, they are a DISTRACTION to drivers and raise stress levels.
Do not allow any more roadside billboards than are allowed now.

I prefer to keep the highways and roads clear of advertisements. I don't feel the income generated by billboards is enough of a pro to offset the con of visual pollution. This is Canada, we should be able to appreciate the landscape as we drive.

Two short points:
1) The most bought media for advertising is is now digital. Phones are now the most used media interface in Canada. Spending on outdoor media is dropping like it has with newspapers and other print media.

It will be a sad and disappointing day to spoil Canada's natural scenic beauty with unnecessary commercial clutter that will very likely not even generate new business for those advertising. I would resent those advertisers for tarnishing my experience of nature. It is a lose lose.

I believe that third-party advertising should be limited as much as possible along highways and road systems, and that illegal or unlicensed third-party advertisers should be fined, issued take-down warrants, or prosecuted, depending on the nature of their violations.

Please, please do not put distracting signs on the highway. For one - it is incredibly unsafe. Both of my parents commute for over an hour a day to get from East Gwillimbury to their jobs in the city, often through incredibly awful weather. I want them to be safe!

I do not think ONTARIO needs additional billboards. Further, additional lighting to existing billboards should not increase.
No moving picture or rapid change in picture should be allowed. A picture change once per hour should be maximum rate acceptable.

I think billboards and especially digital billboards are distracting to drivers, very annoying for local residents (lights) and a visual blight on our roadways. They are unwelcome and unnecessary.

Please strengthen restrictions on the size and placement of billboards along highways. There are too many of them spoiling the view of Ontario's landscapes.

Please refrain from crowding our highways with billboards. We don't need more advertising to distract drivers, which will both spoil the scenery on our long commutes and create safety challenges for all on the roads!
