(a) The State Highway Commission is authorized and empowered to require the removal of all outdoor advertising signs, displays, and devices which do not conform to the provisions of this subchapter and which are lawfully erected beyond six hundred sixty feet (660') from the nearest edge of the right-of-way, located outside of urban areas, visible from the main-traveled way of the interstate, primary, or any other state highway designated by the commission and erected with the purpose of their message being read from the main-traveled way.
