That is what cemeteries are for IMHO.

I'm on that road regularly and the crosses never bother me. I suspect most of the crashes might be weather related. It's a good reminder to be cautious as it's very tempting to let 'er rip on that road - especially in the wee hours when nobody's around. Lots of nothin' out there, fairly straight, a few little rolling rises. Fun to drive really, really fast, but I see how one could come over a ridge and all of a sudden there's a puddle or ice patch or deer or moose standing and then... *wham*
I did see a gigantic frozen waterfall of ice hanging off of one of the few bridge overpasses on there last year. Kinda' scary - if that thing ever broke loose it'd definitely go through a windshield and kill someone. Had to have weighed hundreds of pounds. There are weird hazards like that.
