Around here the city will put up a guardrail, but it usually takes
repeated demands before they will do it. Suggest to them that a
guardrail will protect both you and the drivers who go off the road. If
you can document that you notified them of a hazard, and they did
nothing about it, you are in a good position to sue them when the
problem recurs. Building a barrier or fence yourself, with the intent
of inflicting harm, is not a good idea.

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.
