Beyond regulating brightness, 4 US states ban billboards entirely. (Hawaii, Alaska, Vermont, & Maine)

I wonder if that's related to them having nature / vista tourism as a major source of revenue.

I've traveled to Hawaii (specifically the Big Island) several times and drove H19 countless times between Kailua-Kona and Waikoloa. For about 30 minutes you are driving through old lava fields with a view of the ocean, some goats and the other cars on the road. I've never realized the lack of billboards and I thank those responsible for that. I can imagine that drive inundated with billboards if it was allowed. Trying to sell sunset cruises, sunscreen and your next time share.

Sure but also citizens that value those aspects of their locale are probably the driving force.
