News article dated 2-27-2008:
The Missouri House narrowly approved legislation allowing citizens to pay the Missouri Department of Transportation for signs commemorating drunken driving victims. The bill sponsored by Rep. Bill Deeken, R-Jefferson City, would set up a program that would allow citizens to pay a $1,040 fee for MoDOT to erect two signs in memory a family member who was killed by a drunken driver. The House passed the bill on Monday.
Is it available to have remembered sign for a family member that lost her life due to COVID-19?
There is no formal program by any state that I am aware of. You are of course free to start something yourself.
How do I get a Memorial sign for my son who died at mile maker 33.8 going west just outside of Odessa, MO in 2006?
The State of Missouri has a formal program in order to create Roadside Tributes. Follow this link to learn more and to complete their application process: https://www.modot.org/memorial-designation-programs
Question regarding when a family member passes in a wreck and what is authorized in Missouri for a roadside memorial (size, time frame, amount of structures/objects) it seems from all of the articles I have found that it does not fall under the Missouri Memorial Designation Programs and it also seem that maybe the Current state law bans such memorials, Thanks for any info on this.
I think that you are reading the laws correctly for the State of Missouri. The memorial program is very restrictive. That is why you will see people building their own memorials.
