Highway Fatality Markers


 

MONTANA AMERICAN LEGION

HIGHWAY FATALITY MARKER PROGRAM

They are numerous enough to notice, infrequent enough to startle at seeing, and; they stimulate reverence, sorrow, sympathy, curiosity, and caution.

They affect us all to one degree or another. They are the white crosses that mark the sites of fatal traffic accidents along the highways of Montana.

For over 60 years, these white crosses have reminded passing motorist of the dangers of the road, as well as the lives, that have been lost on these highways.

 

 AMERICAN LEGION POST #14

FATALITY MARKER PROGRAM

Greg Harbac, Coordinator 

 

One of the tenants of the American Legion is SERVICE. The Montana American Legion places markers beside the road in the location of a fatality as a SAFETY reminder, not as a memorial.

It is estimated that over 2,000 markers have been placed along Montana's highways. 

 

Montana Treasure: The 66-year history of white cross highway markers

BOZEMAN- Montana is one of few states in the country that honors highway crash victims with a fatality marker at the site of the crash, according to the American Legion. It's a program with over 60 years of history in the Treasure State.

Since the 1950s, the American Legion of Montana has marked fatal traffic accident sites with the White Cross Highway Fatality Marker Program.

On a nice day in Montana, drivers on the highway in Gallatin County might pass by Greg Harbac and Laura Alley hard at work on the side of the road. The ex-Marines volunteer to place white markers at the site of deadly crashes in the Bozeman area.
