A roadside memorial that previously existed in Liberty
As reported by The Anderson Independent:
Relatives of people killed on South Carolina roadways can now honor their loved ones with standardized roadside memorial signs.
State Transportation Secretary Buck Limehouse says he hopes the new signs will be a safe alternative to homemade memorials, which can be distracting to drivers.
The new signs can only go on state highways and will be placed on the right side of the road. If the accident happened on an interstate, memorial signs will be placed at the nearest welcome center or rest area.
The new signs cost $250 and will be up for two years before they're mailed to the families that paid for them.
The State Transportation Department will accept applications for the signs on its website (http://www.dot.state.sc.us/) starting August 9, 2010.

* Coincidentally this area (discussed in the story above) has recently been renovated and looks very nice - it also appears to be much more safe now.
