An even prettier solution, with the same result...old whiskey barrels. While
she doesn't have this particular problem, my mom's place has the barrels up
on both sides of her driveway, half filled with gravel and then topped up
with soil. In the summer, they're filled with Purple Wave petunias. In the
winter in Cape Breton (especially this winter, with over three feet of snow
in the yard), they have the added benefit of pointing out where the driveway
is supposed to be.

I'm betting that someone would get hurt if they smucked into them
though...probably through your local transportation department is the best
way to fix this, just like everyone else says.

Hey there, got an unusual question:

I live out in the country and part of my front yard is on a curve.
Constantly when it is wet outside, cars go too fast around it despite
signs being posted and end up sliding in my front yard. There is a
small ditch along the road that they go through and into my front
yard. Yesterday, someone even took out a bush I had planted at the end
of my driveway.

ANy bright ideas on what I could do? I thought about taking a tiller
and making the ditch deeper where it would be harder for cars to go
through. I even though of welding together some sort of guardrail to
but on my side of the ditch.

Any help woould be greatly appreciated!

50 gallon oil drums, washed out, tops cut off, drain holes in the bottoms,
painted, filled with soil, pretty flowers planted in the soil. They'll
look
nice and stop almost anything :-)
