In South America wayside crosses with artificial flowers and, often, a
small mound, are very frequent. All the ones I looked at, were memorials
for road accident victims.

I consider subject=* to describe a category: if the dog is well enough
known, I'll use subject=Sandy (and probably create a wikidata for
just my 2 cents:
in some parts of the world it wouldn't be a cross, but something else (in
most of middle-east, in the non-western countries...)

memorial:type=cross/plaque/stone...
memorial:reason=car_crash/whatever...

In Poland many of them are small crosses without any text or description
so it is not entirely obvious why they were placed (though you can guess
quite reliably).

There is also the slightly derogatory term 'cellotaph' for a memorial of
flowers in cellophane wrapper, with a memorial card. Whilst temporary in
construction, they are often replaced/refreshed annually. In the UK they
are tied to lampposts, fences, walls, etc. at the site of a collision.

Maybe memorial:animal=dog would be an option.

I'm not aware of terribly many use cases for man_made=cross, maybe at
open air church service locations or along stations of the cross.
Food for thought, anyway.

I typically tagged such crosses as man_made=cross

Yes, I'm aware of ghost bikes, even if only since recently. Would
memorial:cause or something like that be useful? If it was a war
memorial, one could use memorial:cause:wikidata then to link to the
specific war or skirmish.
I wouldn't link to the wikidata entry for traffic accident, just to

OK but IMHO traffic_crash is better. 'accident' is an assertion of no
blame, and there are messy issues of bad luck and negligence. crash

On a side note, I'd also like to tag memorials for pets different than
for events and people.

I would like to be able to differentiate memorials for road traffic
accidents from other memorials along a road, because I'd really like to
know how many there are. Sometimes, it will be difficult to say without
local knowledge whether it was that or maybe if the family uses
"accident" as a
