Anybody know? I've hunted the internet and there are a variety of dimensions! Confusing me!

I need the one that you drive past on the road! The dimensions of that, exct scale isn't needed yet, but the dimensions. HELP

Typical billboards are 14 by 48 feet, 12 by 24 feet (30-sheet) and 5 by 11 feet (8-sheet). The largest sign is the one you most often notice along the freeway. With this sign you get the maximum exposure. Because of the different placement requirements for smaller signs, as the sign decreases in size, the market exposed to the message becomes smaller and more centralized.

I guess it differed from US to UK and from the individual billboard too

True. Thanks for that Narate. Why can't the world just work in A sizes? haha

Fantastic. Thank you

Not sure about things across the pond there, but here in the US all I had to do was ask the media company that we bought the space/time from. I believe I had to set mine up at 4 inches by 8 inches and that was it. But check with whoever sells the billboard space and they will know.
