In the 1970s Alabama used to post diamond signs painted pale white on
the sides of roads where there was a fatality.  The signs just read
"DEATH" and they were placed on tripods on the sides of highways.  I
suppose the old Highway Department just wanted to make some kind of an
impact on those using the highways.  Not exactly a memorial, but
effective.  As a teenager I bicycled many trips between Atlanta and
Huntsville and these signs actually used to scare me.
