Leaving flowers at spots where people have died is a fairly new concept. I may be wrong but I think it seemed to escalate after Diana died and thousands of bouquets and flowers appeared at Buckingham Palace?
I don't agree or disagree with it but it does make me 'look' when am driving, wondering who has died and what circumstances, therefore taking MY attention off the road for a second or two.
Sometimes people just jump on a bandwagon and it's not necessarily because they feel it's the correct thing to do but I am of the opinion of what makes you feel better..... so long as it is not infringing on safety issues.
