Hawaii is one of 4 states where it is against the law to erect billboards. Can you guess the other 3? Here is a hint...before you google it....the premise being they detract from the beauty of the environment and obstructs views. I'll tell ya after you read the only exceptions in Hawaii below:
(1) Directional and other official signs and notices, which signs and notices shall include, but not be limited to,signs and notices pertaining to natural wonders, scenic and historic attractions as authorized or required by law.
(2) Signs, displays, and devices advertising the sale or lease of the property upon which they are located.
(3) Signs, displays, and devices advertising activities conducted on the property upon which they are located.
(4) Signs lawfully in existence on October 22, 1965, determined by the director to be landmark signs, including signs on farm structures or natural surfaces, of historic or artistic significance the preservation of which would be consistent with the purpose of this section.
The other 3 states are Alaska, Maine, and Vermont.

It doesn't surprise me that Vermont is on the list... it would be like putting billboards all over Shenandoah National Park ;).
