State Government Transportation Dept of Caltrans
Caltrans regulates outdoor advertising in California, ensuring that displays visible from highways comply with the Federal Highway Beautification Act and the state's Outdoor Advertising Act. The department conducts regular reviews of national highway sections and requires specific permits for various types of outdoor advertising configurations.
To operate in this sector, businesses must obtain an Outdoor Advertising License and adhere to strict guidelines regarding display locations and sizes. These guidelines include restrictions related to zoning, the proximity to other displays, and centralized consent from property owners and local government authorities. Generated from the website
