The provision was read as inclusive and aimed at regulating sky-signs and related installations that may affect traffic flow, public space, ecology and safety. The expressions "advertisement", "announcement" and "direction" were construed in their ordinary contextual sense and not confined to commercial solicitation. Ejusdem generis and noscitur a sociis were held not to narrow the provision unduly.
