NO billboard is a good idea. My travel experiences are so very much more enjoyable when driving in those states that realize what an abomination these things are. And, on a related topic, who is the rocket scientist who decided the way to help keep Arkansas clean is to put garish "don't litter" signs basically on top of roadways? The signs are worse than the litter!

NO, horrible idea. I already feel I have to constantly be a defensive driver far too much of the time as it is now. Changing electronic billboards would only add one more distraction for the masses.

I prefer "changing billboards" to more billboards.

It's only a matterof time before someone causes an accident because of one of these billboards, and the ensuing lawsuits are going to bankrupt some of these billboard companies. So, yeah, bring 'em on.

No...we need less public advertisement, not more. It's sad to see such a naturally beautiful state continually made ugly by bought/sold legislators and greedy/self-serving business interests.

Drivers already have too many distractions: changing stations/CDs, makeup, hair, cell phones, navigators, car wrecks on the side...etc.

A changing billboard runs the risk of diverting the eyes attention to the movement...and I already perceive that people are too comfortable driving.

great idea for the advertising companies - bad idea for drivers. However, it is inevitable

I think it's pretty cool. There is one at the corner of Kanis and S Bowman. It's been there for a while. Sort like blade runner. Now if I could just get a flying car!

I noticed that the article says that other states have not seen an increase in accidents. I wonder whether other states have had problems with billboard hacking?

Ho-hum, NWA has had Ebillboards for a few years. There won't be any in Fayetteville due to a strict sign ordinance which sets maximum size.

Think I will wait for talking cereal boxes and mannequins who recognize me.
