Puzzle Description:

When my husband was stationed at Moron Air Base, he was impressed by the way the Spanish mark their most dangerous roadways. Every traffic fatality was marked with a white cross; a red cross signified 100 deaths.

"Descansos" is Spanish for "resting place." That is their name for roadside memorial markers.

Perhaps this isn't the *best* of Spain, but it's a good way to prevent future accidents; if you approach an intersection or sharp curve that's littered with crosses, you'll know to slow down.

Nice image Kristen.Where we live people always put a cross with flowers where ever there has been a tragic accident.

I believe the Spanish government put up the markers, rather than individuals.

I enjoyed this puzzle, Kristen.

When I saw that it was 32x27, I assumed it would be an entry for this WCP. But it's not in your title. If you edit your title so it's official, I'll edit my comment. :-)

Edit: never mind. :-)

Whoops! I forgot :)

Nice puzzle Kristen.
By the way, the right word is "descansos"

i had to laugh at the name "moron" air base
haha

Thanks, Claudia :) Yep, Bug, there were many jokes made about the name (pronounced like mor-OWN, of course)

Thanks for your entry Kristen!

thanks for entry, Kristen

Nice illustration.

Bugaboo, a big suburb of Buenos Aires is called Moron and no one here laughs. It seems that in ancient Spanish a moron is a little mound
