SDCL § 31-29-61: Legislative policy on outdoor advertising along interstate and primary highways.

The Legislature, recognizing the public investment in highways and in justification of these expenditures, particularly the cost of maintenance which is borne wholly by state funds, finds and declares that it is the policy of this state that the erection and maintenance of outdoor advertising in areas adjacent to the right-of-way of the interstate and primary systems within this state shall be regulated in accordance with the terms of this chapter. All outdoor advertising determined to be nonconforming to the requirements of this chapter shall be subject to removal.
