    I pulled this directly from Clear Channel's outdoor advertising specs:

    M ECHANICALS/LAYOUT SIZES 1/4”=1’

    Bleed Area H 3.75” x W 12.25”
    • Keep critical visual elements inside of H 3.5” x W 12”
    • Digital Resolution at this scale is best at 600dpi
    but can be as low as 300dpi.

    I recall going to clear channel when I was in college a few years back - and the final output size is nearly 16 dots PER FOOT.

    I'd contact a local large format printer - or even Clear Channel (They're huge and usually rather helpful) and ask them the specifics.
