Charles F. Floyd takes readers on a visit to the unzoned commerical area loophope found in the Highway Beautification Act. Professor Floyd explains that when the HBA was passed, the outdoor advertising industry persuaded Congress that new billboards should be allowed in all commercial and industrial areas, and since many counties were unzoned, new billboards should be allowed in unzoned areas that were truly commercial or industrial in character. What constituted an "unzoned commercial or industrial area" was not defined.
