The Outdoor Advertising Association of America released Tuesday (Aug. 17) a fifth study that found digital billboards don’t cause accidents. The latest study, conducted by Philadelphia-based Tantala Associates, analyzed eight years of accident records in Reading, Penn. that were in proximity to 26 digital billboards on state and local roads.
