Fayetteville City Council voted Thursday to change sign ordinances for the city to include restrictions on electric billboards.
The measure would regulate the size, brightness and placement of these video boards, updating a current ordinance that restricts signs that blink or flash inside city limits.
In a letter to the mayor, City Attorney Kit Williams said the proposed ordinance will help to "keep up with the times and technology to maintain aesthetic and traffic safety" in Fayetteville.
He and the city's planning staff worked together to create the suggested amendments.
