Tatra Mountains Region Removes Over 100 Roadside Advertising Billboards

Authorities in the Tatra Mountains region have removed more than 100 advertising billboards from roadsides as part of an effort to improve traffic safety and navigation. Local officials said the advertising signs were creating hazards for drivers and making it more difficult for visitors to orient themselves in the popular mountain tourism area. The removal campaign reflects growing concerns about visual pollution and road safety in Slovakia's most visited national park region, which attracts millions of tourists annually to its hiking trails and ski resorts.
