PLEASE do not allow advertising along Ontario's provincial highways. This province has beautiful landscapes and billboards would ruin them. I have lived in places that have allowed this (Mexico, parts of the US) and it is ugly and very, very sad to see the landscape so blighted.

These signs should be totally illegal, the government is very big on distracted drivers and yet because these signs that bring in revenue to the government are allowed, WHY ?

I think the proliferation of highway signs in Haliburton County is deplorable. You have allowed our landscape to be cluttered by uncontrolled advertising.
I don't see this in other areas of the Province as much as I do here in Haliburton County.
Please remove at least 50% of them!

Ontario is a beautiful Province. When I drive along roads and highways I want to be able to see and enjoy the landscape. Please protect our landscape from commercial clutter. I don't want Ontario to look like some of the American States.
