That's the kind of ideas that help everyone as price is an important
consideration for something here that isn't absolutely necessary.

Given there is a guardrail along the curve where the road and driveway
meet, the cheapest alternative solution, might be one of the following:
* PN 45613 Clear Mirror Sheet,12"x24" (x1/8"Thick), $15.28
* PN 45620 Clear Mirror Sheet,12"x24" (x1/4"Thick), $24.92

I wonder (aloud) if it will work, bolted to the guardrail ...


No, you would never even desire to learn the process you would
have to gio through to attach something to a government owned
guard rail -- i.e. you need engineering drawings done, traffic
studies done, looking at buying approved materials with DOT
ratings, going before a committee for approval, etc... If you do
attach something to the guard rail without permission you will
find that it will be mysteriously gone one day and zero sympathy
about it when you call to find out what happened to it...

Learn how to back into your driveway or widen it to allow you to
turn your vehicles around before stopping to pull onto the road
way...
