Actually I wouldn't counter with a heavy post. Not good if a car hits it. I'd rather it sheered.
If they are on my lawn, I don't care what "happens" if they hit it.
I wanted - many years ago - to get 8 or so of those HUGE HUGE boulders to place fairly close to the edge of the property by the road (the property is on the inside of a 70-degree curve in the road) because there was a spate of cutting-across incidents. I was told by the town that they get to dictate "stuff" up to 20 feet onto MY property from the road and they would not allow it. So I asked if I could have my property taxes decreased by the square-footage that THEY have say about... and if THEY would take over the lawn cutting. THEY were unamused.
So now, I just do not trim the gigantic pine... and let the branches pretty much obscure the line of sight around the curve. It's to be taken at a posted 20mph, so vehicles have PLENTY of reaction time, if need be. And, I do know the town would take it upon themselves to trim the tree if it posed an actual threat.
Hmph.
So there.
Nyah.
