It is hard to imagine New Jersey without electronic signs and billboards, and billboard litigation dates back to the early 20th century and continues to evolve today.
While billboards continue to abound, it is not without resistance from local government and public interest groups. Most zoning and development applications do not involve free speech issues, but they are forefront in billboard litigation. In 2016, the New Jersey Supreme Court invalidated a Franklin Township ordinance banning electronic billboards along I-287, finding that when a municipality restricts speech it must do more than simply invoking government interests. But a similar set facts yielded the opposite result in 2013 from the Third Circuit in a Mount Laurel case.
