That's fun advertising for advertisers.

Ask people to watch it once at daylight (ok they go to work), to watch it again at night (ok they go back home), to notice the difference (ok they remembered the first time), to see the brand (ok trafic jam), to remember it when they go to the store (ok they have good memories), and we are talking about consumers who have such problems (ok they do)

too many oks for me

well:
is interesting but:

if you are driving you cannot see it because it lays opposite to driving direction
and
you need a couple of hours to appreciate it

This billboard is just down the road from me and it was sweet!
Cars drive both ways and there's an intersection with traffic lights right there, as you can see...
That spot certainly gets attention!

although I agree with Federo "if you are driving you cannot see it because it lays opposite to driving direction" I do think its a great add!
well done.

done before with very same copy and much better art directing... (I don't remember if it is the same company or not.)

there were just one bug and when you look closely, you could notice lots of them hidden around...

back to the ad.. you can't just wait until it gets dark to notice the idea. it seems to be good but it's not effective.

I like it. Advertising's not just about the immediate selling point, it's also about initiating conversation. This is the type of thing people will tell their friends about, tweet, status update and spread. We're in different times people.

Its a pity some people don't want to use their brains, they need to be told what is happening on the adverts they see around.
