For a mirror you can usually buy the big convex ones reasonable from

The problem is the expense (so far) of the convex mirrors.

I'm looking at a cheap material ($25 or so) that can simply be bolted to
the guardrail. If someone steals it, it's not worth a lot, so that's why
I don't want to put anything more expensive up.


Just mount it across from the driveway up so lights don't hit it
and plows can't wipe it out.

I'm thinking of bolting it to the guardrail on the street just across
from the driveway. For that, a strip about a foot wide and as long as is
still cheap might work (if the angles are right).

There are no plows out here - but plenty of thieves so it would need to
be so cheap nobody would want to steal it.
