I use one Maryland Rd. almost daily. It has numerous memorials left by family and classmates. I have even seen
groups of kids praying at one memorial with candles flickering in the dark. Maybe the Athiests saw the same
group of teens? The flowers and displays seem to be updated
every week or so. It does not bother me to see this. It makes me glance at my speed. The dead get another prayer.
The increased number of memorials should get the interest
of more than Athiests. What is it about this roadway that
has it starting to look like a graveyard?

...I have the same reaction. I don't think religion when I see a road side cross, I think, somebody died here, this may be a particularly dangerous section of road for whatever reason. I'll excercise a little more caution.

These memorials are quite popular in Mexico. When traveling by car in Mexico I always knew were to drive carefully. When approaching an intersection that would literally look like a grave yard with 50 or more crosses, I knew to be extra careful.
