If you wanted to erect a permanent roadside memorial, you would have to apply for planning permission. If you erect a roadside memorial without planning permission, it will be removed, after the aforementioned respectful interval is observed (but as the example of the City of London shows, no such interval actually needs to be observed). Your best bet is to make a memorial that is not obstructive. There has been a memorial to Thomas Love, who was killed on Green Lanes outside Clissold Park when he was 16, for many years. It causes little obstruction, and has consequently remained.
