They flash a series of ads. They're bright, and visually they're very hard to ignore.
Driving home last night, I watched as one cycled through its sequence ads, until -- I kid you not -- it flashed a "404 Page Not Found" error message!
I guess these video boards run some sort of HTTP browser. Question: are they hackable? The prank factor is intriguing ;-)
