I have to wonder how many people after seeing one of these slowed down? Got off their cell phone? Buckled up? Started paying a bit for attention to the road? Maybe looked around a bit and saw something which alerted them that the road had a quirk or a flaw or something which would cause a inattentive driver to have an accident? In short I wonder how many people have been saved by such memorials?

This is my reaction as well. I don't get my panties in a bunch and throw an irate rant when something reminds me to drive safe every time I drive past it.

I like the lighted sign that announces the speed of passing cars in front of our local elementary school as well.

On the nasty, wreck-infested turn where my friend was killed, there hasn’t been an accident there, since.

[maybe people *do* see the memorial more than I thought they would]

Got off their cell phone?

And miss out on what Suzie did on her date? No way, not going to happen ...

There is a curving roadway between the high country and my home in the Valley (in AZ). Taking it, I was already nervous. Moreso, when I saw at least then roadside memorials. I mentioned this to my husband who said, “There were more than that.”

Oops! That should have been ten, not then.
