Abstract

Roadside memorials to traffic accident victims began to appear along Yugoslav roads in the 1960s. Although legislation and public opinion have come out against them, they tenaciously survive. They appear in various forms, from improvised and temporary ones to more durable and monumental memorials. This specific phenomenon of Yugoslav contemporary culture is clearly continuing an earlier tradition of marking the place of a person's accidental death.
