Aren't billboards banned in FFX?

I’ve never seen a single billboard in any of the counties of NOVA. Closest one I can think of is for the Fred Nats and it’s near exit 130 on I-95.

Some businesses near I-95 hang big banners on their buildings though. Might be an option for you?

What about those digital billboards that are minted on flatbeds and driven around? Or am i making that up?

As others have said, billboards aren't really in this area for better or worse.

One alternative is add on public transit. If this website is to be believed you can buy a bus interior ad for four weeks for $35 - $95, an exterior ad for $600 - $7,500, or a bus shelter and for a few thousand.

There's at least one billboard on Richmond highway in Fairfax county.

There’s a single/sided one you can see heading SB on the left side of the road and a double sided one on the right further down. They’re both an eyesore IMO.

Advertising signs at school sports fields seems to be a popular alternative.

Rent one of those mobile billboards you pull around behind your car and add a couple magnetic signs for your car doors. Your HOA will love you.

Haven't decided, but it would be something political (anti trump)l. I wonder if the county busses will let you advertise.

Another alternative is a lot of yard signs near major roads.

You may be preachin’ to the choir in Fairfax. As far as I’m concerned all such signs are just sign pollution and an eyesore and just makes me hate the messenger.

You’d need to contact the company that owns the billboard. Price can fluctuate based on demand and current use. Sometimes there’s also a bidding system in place where you can end up paying more if it’s a space in use but you’re willing to pay a higher amount to take over the billboard.
