Man-made Totems?

Is anyone here working with synthetic and man-made totems? I've been getting strong feelings about Road (general, not a specific road), having worked with a lot of roadkill and car accident victims as a psychopomp it's been a presence in my life for a while now, but lately I've been receiving a stronger pull towards working with Road itself more closely. I'm not really sure how to approach it though? I've worked with animals, plants, rocks, rivers... but never something created by humans, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to form a relationship with Road as a totem.

*nods* I tend to agree on this matter. The Path seems more adequate or appropriate for animal-created walkways, and I believe that the specific paths created by animals has a name, but I can't remember it right now. I'll have to track it down in one of my animal encyclopedias.
