I need helppppp! Pleaassseeee!

Anyone in the graphic design/advertising career that knows what size a typical billboard is?

I'm in graphic design & I'm working on a senior project and I have no clue what size to do and I have to start it tonight!

I go to a new document do the actual size I'm supposed to do.... but Photoshop or any program for that matter, will scale it down for you so you can view it all together. Basically, your viewing a small version......
