"Caltrans' policy on freeway displays came under scrutiny when two Santa Cruz women sued the state agency last year, charging that it routinely removed banners with unpopular messages while allowing flags to fly on overpasses and bridges. In January, a federal judge presiding over the lawsuit ordered Caltrans to adopt consistent guidelines for flags and banners on freeway property."
