The widow of a man who died in a road crash has condemned as “just appalling” a Department of Transport proposal to remove roadside memorials. 

Officials believe the tributes should be banned on motorways, dual carriageways, regional and local roads where the speed limit is above 60km/ph. 

A spokesperson said existing memorials could remain, so long as they are not a “clear hazard to road users or interfere with maintenance activities”. 

Park Road Safety Advocacy Group spokesperson Susan Gray says that she was shocked when a journalist called her to ask for comment as she had heard nothing about it.

Susan joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
