No Roadside Hoardings
4 ‘One of the most attractive features of motoring in certain parts of Europe is the absence of those glaring roadside hoardings which so frequently distract tho attontion of the driver and all too often detract from the beauty of New Zealand's countryside,” writes Mr. R. E. Champtaloup, touring manager of the Automobile Association (Auckland), who is visiting Europe. The small Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, lying between France, Belgium and Germany, is described by Mr. Champtaloup as a tourists’ paradise. Although he motored extensively through the grand duchy, he did not see a single roadside advertisement, and on questioning the official who was accompanying him, he was advised that the authorities realised the value of prohibiting the erection of advertising signs. Germany had made a move in thq same direction and on the principal motor highways along which Mr. Champtaloup travelled there was an entire absence of advertising hoardings.
