Yes, I am aware of that. I was only trying to reference what Marc was referring to in the link he provided.

Apparently, in France these black silhouettes are placed on the road side at the scene of fatal accidents to educate other drivers. However, they are not too popular with the family members of the deceased who are constantly reminded of the family member's death each time they drive on that road. They are advocating that these signs be removed and that a more appropriate memorial sign be placed in this spot instead.
