Default Advice to keep cars from sliding into my yard on bad curve.

If you don't want to spend much $$$$ for the fence, and if the city
moth....OOps, I meant Fathers are reluctant to give you permits for
fencing/guard rails/or somesuch, get some timbers/fone poles/logs in
the neighborhood of a foot diameter and lay them along the roadway but
on your property. In fact, lay down two or 3 rows of them. When
people drive off the road and ONTO the items laying there, they will
1) damage their cars and maybe 2) get stuck ON them and require a tow.

You have not installed anything permanent, they can't vandalize it and
the city/township/county can't hassle you for it.

Go to the local power or fone company and you can get an endless
supply of damaged poles, sometimes for free.

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!
