Get a bicycle and learn the car free routes into town and to your work. Nobody puts up adverts on cycle paths. It isn't against the law, it just makes no commercial sense to do so.

By making the bicycle however you get about, you cut down on seeing ads.

this feels like a ridiculous sub-optimization, and I ride my bike pretty much everywhere

It depends on where you live, however, I noted my 'ad free life' whilst in London. I went from the usual commute on trains and tubes with the odd bus thrown in for good measure to just riding my bicycle along the Thames. I went from seeing everything with adverts to seeing everything with herons, gulls, squirrels, trees and flowers. Rather than being tuned in to the latest junk to buy, I became tuned in to the ever changing seasons and what was in blossom.

Incidentally almost all my trips are already by bicycle, with on foot and with public transport numbers 2 and 3. Unfortunately, since almost everybody uses these modes of transportation here, there actually are ads everywhere still.

(Besides the idea of me having to adjust my route to -for now- not see ads being somewhat offensive to me too.)

I do live in that country, and I have cycled (and walked and trained through) there yes :)
