Decisions like naming a highway in memory of someone are legislative decisions made by the State or local government in cooperation with the State highway agency. Many jurisdictions have detailed criteria that must be met before a highway or street can be named after an individual. This criteria often considers factors such as the individual’s contribution to the country/state/community, service status, community consensus, road length to be renamed, costs/sponsors of signs and plaques, and more. Please contact your local body for more accurate guidance in this regard.
