What's the difference between traditional billboards and DOOH advertising in Washington D.C?

Published

June 26, 2026

Traditional static billboards are almost nonexistent in D.C. because of the 1931 federal ban and ongoing highway visibility rules. DOOH advertising covers everything from digital Metro displays and airport screens to street furniture and venue signage in the entertainment zones. It’s largely unaffected by the billboard restrictions, since it falls under separate sign and transit regulations.
