Around here, the families and friends will create roadside memorials where loved one has died. There's far too many scattered around the roads. I suppose that they remind people to be careful on certain roads.

The locals will also put memorials on the rear window of trucks. This type of thing is also done in the Mexican culture. I can't say how that connection between Hawaii and Mexico came about.
