Description Every year, more than 50 people lose their lives on Alaska roads and highways.
Frequently, loved ones and friends
choose to honor the memory of these individuals by requesting
a memorial sign be placed near the site of the crash. The
memorial sign may remain for a period of ten years. An application
for a memorial sign is usually made within two years of the
time of the crash. DOT&PF will manufacture and erect
these signs at no charge to you.
We hope this program will help combat drunken
driving and increase the public's awareness of the need to
drive safely and responsibly.
