At least a small piece at the end of my driveway.
I’m guessing drunk and Hispanic. Wednesday night.

I know of maybe half/dozen similar sites.
#1
A Modelo drinker and a tranny go out on a weeknight...
#2
Instead of just working the farm, Bud Light helps you BUY it.
They seem weaker in print than in my head.
Seriously, the holiday season is the worst time for families to deal with tragedy.
May they find some kind of comfort...

Roadside shrines started in 3rd world nations and then came here, which in a roundabout way denotes that CONUS is now a 3rd world country.
I look at it this way, Don't put your headstone on my freeway and I won't drive 55 through your cemetery.
There's enough distractions while driving, don't put up shrines as those just add to the distractions. Makes one wonder, allegedly these shrines are where someone bought the farm. Why aren't there shrines inside ambulances, aid units, or at hospitals? Or better yet, take all that crap you're leaving at the roadside and put it on the person's headstone where it truly belongs. They aren't buried where the accident happened or they died, they're buried or interred at a cemetery. Stop causing more distracted drivers = more accidents = more deaths, by stopping at the accident scene to dump a bunch of garbage that is better suited for where the body truly is. Same with the candlelit vigils. Take all that to the cemetery and out of the flow of traffic.
Maybe I'm just an a-hole but if it was on any portion of my property, I'd toss it into a dumpster and get the people cited for illegal dumping.

Most of them have been maintained, even solar/LED lighting, for years. On public right of way. Don’t know if the State has any interest/concern about them.

Was probably placed today, after church. I would have seen it yesterday.

Those roadside shrines are very popular in Indiana, especially if the deceased is a teenager. It seems the friends load them up with flowers, candles, and stuffed toys. I have never understood memorializing the place where someone met a violent death.

A Bud Light can, so the dude was gay too.
I like #2 but don't understand 1.
There were Modelo cans and Bud Light cans at the shrine.
I know it was pretty weak.

And here I was thinking that you've got a new neighbor! So much for clicking on this thread I guess.

No, you didn’t. Slowly dying, trapped in a burning car, screaming for help that no one can provide, is a rough way to go.

That's something that starts huge sh*t storms around here. PennDOT takes them down before mowing and the TV and radio call-in lines and newspaper editorials go crazy, with death threats made against the mowing crews.
wow,people are crazy.
Two of the finest a-holes that I ever arrested died like that. They drove a truck through a propane tank into the side of a church when they went to hell. The DOZENS of little old ladies they beat down during home invasion robberies and carjackings broke my give a damn meter with them for sure.

The shrines are a rememberance. AND yes it came from other countries. Asia has a form, but they are in homes. South/Central America has such poor roads and quality control that deaths are super common and they have shrines.
The better solution would be to add a dead folks shrine to each rest stop and just say if your loved one died put a candle here or something instead of next to the road where you endanger everyone around.

I don’t see the problem where they endanger other drivers. Pay attention to your driving.

I'm sorry POD. I myself like the roadside markers, as I'm often morbidly curious, for one, and like to check my intuitions and such- - -but I can commiserate with not liking those fatalities to occur literally at one's door step.
The last one I had was motorcycle-truck, and he was of course gone before I ever made it out of bed, let alone on site. Still I entertained fantasies of going back to get some more robust medical training, even knowing it would not have mattered.

True story, there was someone I butted heads with started in grade school, we flat out didn't like each other.
He turned in to a real boozer and and met a early end when he wrapped his Harley around a light pole.
His drinking buddies were leaving cans of beer on his grave, I told them I was going to leave one too after it passed through my kidneys.
And that was when the fight stared.

or scattered and then cremated?
Neighbors here had to deal with one of these things for years. They live right on the corner of the paved county road and my dirt road. A young teen girl got fatally T-boned by a gravel truck while distracted, fighting with her mom on her cell phone. The memorial mess appeared in the ditch the next day. I sorta "get" drama queen fellow teens doing this for a while, or grieving parents and families, but really....having to look at that stuff, draw your dogs across the road, and deal with the blowing trash out your front windows for 10 damned years?
The neighbors talked to them repeatedly, removed the stuff when it showed up, and just, in the end, had to cope. It became such a part of the landscape that I literally can't tell you if it's still there or not.
Down the county road a way is another shrine - in the ditch of the highway - that's at least 20 years old. Last summer the whole intersection was completely rebuilt after a highway department makeover including added turning lanes, extensive landscaping/re-sculpturing/sodding and new 200 ft. wide right-of-ways/ditches. The garbage was back as soon as the contractors left. Some of them seem to never quit.

This was the first shrine I’ve seen that was not located at a T or X intersection. I would guess most of those involved running a stop sign.

In my area, big trees near roads are rare. Like I said, almost all are intersections where somebody didn’t follow the rules.

The pop up in NJ as well. After a while most just end up being a cross nailed to a tree.
Then sometimes a candle will pop up on the anniversary.
I would say most of them are usually related to the death of a younger kid that wrecked.
A teenage kid hung himself in the basement a few years ago near me.
They still don't know why he did it. In highschool worked with a local excavating contractor parents were loaded.
The sad part is they looked for 2 or 3 days for him and never went down to the basement.
All the local kids were doing burn outs in the road in front of his house for months.
Most with diesel pickups so it was getting a tad old.
