Willingness to pay for the removal of the billboards standing free along the roads has been investigated by using the contingent valuation method. The results of a very limited investigation carried out among the travellers on a thirty kilometre long stretch of the E77 road between Grójec and Janki near Warsaw indicate a rather significant social sensitivity to this sort of pollution of the landscape. If the willingness to pay was attached to one advertisement placed outside the fenced private property along the road, its removal should be valued at 11.32 PLN/household. Total Polish willingness to pay for removal of the standing advertisements has been roughly estimated at 8302.5 million PLN. The sensitivity to this type of landscape pollution was growing with the education and decreasing with the age and the wealth of the person interviewed, except for the highest income group. Women were more sensitive than men.
