Reply #161: When I see a roadside memorial

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I am extra careful with my driving, as I figure the stretch of road might be dangerous (perhaps a blind roadway entering the highway, or maybe a place where deer cross). In MO, which is not known to be a blue state, they name portions of state highways in memory of fallen troopers. To my mind, this makes a more fitting memorial, because all the motorists see the name of the fallen trooper. Twelve foot high crosses seem to be a bit much, and could possibly be a distraction for motorists, and maybe even a driving hazard if they are placed in areas where drivers should be paying extra attention to the road.
