    (a) In section 12 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1958, Pub. L. 
85-381, 72 Stat. 95, hereinafter called the act, the Congress declared 
that:
    (1) To promote the safety, convenience, and enjoyment of public 
travel and the free flow of interstate commerce and to protect the 
public investment in the National System of Interstate and Defense 
Highways, hereinafter called the Interstate System, it is in the public 
interest to encourage and assist the States to control the use of and to 
improve areas adjacent to such system by controlling the erection and 
maintenance of outdoor advertising signs, displays, and devices adjacent 
to that system.
    (2) It is a national policy that the erection and maintenance of 
outdoor advertising signs, displays, or devices within 660 feet of the 
edge of the right-of-way and visible from the main-traveled way of all 
portions of the Interstate System constructed upon any part of right-of-
way, the entire width of which is acquired subsequent to July 1, 1956, 
should be regulated, consistent with national standards to be prepared 
and promulgated by the Secretary of Transportation.
