President Lyndon Johnson signs the Highway Beautification Act

I run a road and we deal with tons of trash. Sometimes we see whole bags of trash scattered down the roads where they were tossed out of cars.
I would put up trailcams if the county would split the $500 fines 50-50.

Thank you my friend TSgt Joe C. for making us aware that on "October 22, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Highway Beautification Act, which attempts to limit billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising, as well as junkyards and other unsightly roadside messes, along America’s interstate highways.
The act also encouraged “scenic enhancement” by funding local efforts to clean up and landscape the green spaces on either side of the roadways. “This bill will enrich our spirits and restore a small measure of our national greatness,” Johnson said at the bill’s signing ceremony. “Beauty belongs to all the people. And so long as I am President, what has been divinely given to nature will not be taken recklessly away by man.”
