Seen by the side of the road.

As we are driving around these little back roads I kept seeing these little black people cutouts. About 5 ft high, made of plywood and mounted like traffic signs. At first I thought they were some sort of local KKK symbols! But no, they are installed by the government to show where people have been killed by traffic. They also show the age of the dead.

Very effective, something for MADD to think about!

PS: This is farm country and cows have the right of way!
