The 2nd District Court of Appeal overturned a lower court ruling that LA’s restrictions on off-site signs violate the California constitutions guarantee of free speech.  The decision held that cities can have different on-premise and off-premise rules without violating the first amendment.

In 2002 Los Angeles passed a sign ordinance prohibiting new billboards from being approved outside of designated sign districts and prohibiting existing billboards from being converted to digital.   Lamar sued in 2013 and had won a lower court case.

Lamar plans to appeal the ruling.
