There is currently a fashion for marking the roads with flowers and memorials where someone died. If
someone dies in an industrial accident, we don't arrange flowers upon the piece of machinery that
caused it. If someone collapses and dies from a heart attack, we don't place his photo on the
pavement where he fell. So why do these memorials only appear at the sites of road deaths?
Is this Diana synrome in action?
I feel it's more important to remember a person's life, rather than than venerate the physical
location of her death.
