Any idea on what I can do about people driving too fast and sliding
around a curve landing in my front yard? The speedlimit is 35 but they
drive about 60. I got home to find huge ruts in my yard the other day.
I have talked to the county executive , judge madjestrate, highway
department. I have written letters and attached photos.
I was thinking of putting a fence up using 6x6 posts in concrete but
wondered if somehow someone would try to sue me if they got hurt.
I have a daughter and a son on the way and their bedroom faces the
road. I am scared to death someone is going to end up in my house!
I can attach pictures if that helps. I am just so fed up right now I
dont know what to do.
Caltrans uses plasic barrels full of sand. Hence
the "he bought a barrel of sand" metaphor. Maybe
hide them behind a hedge.
Seems that if you use the same thing that is industry
practice, your legal liability might be less.
Of course, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal
advice.
