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.

That sounds like a plan, unless you can get somebody with a
pile driver to sink about 6 concrete pillars for ya.

Make it narrow and as deep as you can stand it, you want to get
the car to fall in, not just stop!. Maybe the local "news" of
a car or two being stuck there for a day until they could be
dug out by a dozer would get people to slow the hell down?
