Should Teaneck Allow Billboards on Route 4?

Town Council considers allowing billboards with limitations.

The Township Council is mulling an ordinance that would allow billboards along Route 4 through town, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.

The move would come with regulations, including that static billboards would not be allowed within 300 feet of residential properties and education buildings. Digital billboards would have similar restrictions within 1,000 feet of the designated properties, according to the ordinance.

Among other limits, the billboards would need to be aimed at highway drivers and not nearby neighborhoods. The town’s planning board would have site plan approval for the billboards, which would also be reviewed for traffic safety, impact on the area and other measures.

A sign’s maximum size would be capped at 14-feet by 48-feet, the report said.
