After decades of honoring the victims of traffic collisions with roadside signs that include a safety message, the Washington State Department of Transportation is asking for public feedback about the program’s future.

In 1994, WSDOT began honoring victims of DUI collisions with roadside memorial signs . Over the years, the program has grown to include other safety messages, including warnings about speeding, distracted driving and motorcycle safety.

More than a thousand memorial signs are currently installed along Washington roadways. WSDOT said in a news release it is looking at ways to reduce sign overcrowding in some urban locations. Proposals being considered include setting a time limit on signs or a limit on the number of renewals.
