...and I respect the group for fighting this in court. There needs to be rules defined for separation of church and state... If the court comes back and says this is ok on the side of the road, then another group will undoubtedly come by with a handful of 12 foot tall signs advertising their own "religion" whatever that may be...
What's to stop someone from making one of those signs be an advertisement? Wow, state funded advertising.. I'm in! Why buy an expensive billboard spot when you can have someone die on the side of the public road and get a free 12 foot advertisement for whatever religion they decide to be.
The fact is, there are rules in place that should better define this. Just because crosses are a well known symbol doesn't make them any less an advertisement.
