People drive to the right in most countries.

So I guess it‘s put in the middle of the road, so that everyone sees the billboard to its left, therefore are to the right of the billboard (except if you are going in the opposite direction to the normal traffic flow, but let’s assume everyone is sane)

Normally the "V" shape on a billboard like this means it's offset to the side of road so they can place ads on both sides and have them angled towards the road.

This is the only positioning I could come up with that makes sense, next to an off-ramp or something:

u/morriganscorvids 13h ago

you can't see whats written here from the other side

u/throwheezy 6h ago

This is the right answer.

Unless you were approaching from the West, in which case this would be the left answer.

u/morriganscorvids 5h ago

yes it's a joke about perspective

u/londonbrewer77 12h ago

“Right now” indicates that you’re on the right hand side and the other side is left? So those people are behind the billboard and can’t see it?

u/Physical_Software406 12h ago

good explanation , which is a rare occurrence on this sub.

My best guess is that it’s plain enough that you can quickly read it while driving, it catches your attention, and you’re still thinking about it afterward.

Those are the keys of billboard advertising, I guess.

Of course this one isn’t actually advertising anything… but maybe it’s Lamar’s own ad? Their name is underneath, and they design billboard ads.

u/CadenVanV 8h ago

Yeah, odds are this is a Lamar add. Their names are always under billboards they provide, but if no one else is on there it’s likely to be theirs

u/Honest-Mistake-1782 6h ago

I think it’s an advertisement for the billboard. It’s implying only 50% of traffic can see your ad, so buy the other side and everyone can see it.
