States seek alternatives to roadside memorials
Delaware has created a state-sponsored garden in the place of roadside memorials, giving families an appropriate place to mourn crash victims. Although important to family and friends, transportation experts worry that the makeshift memorials distract drivers and can pose safety problems.

Engraved red bricks with the names of the deceased line a path through the garden. Other states are looking into similar initiatives.
