Hello all,
After years of having a rented PO box in town at the post office I am considering rural delivery. My concern is where is best to place the roadside mailbox in relation to my unpaved driveway so the carrier/mailman does not create ruts or potholes across my drive. I am on a paved county road with no curb. The post & box will be on my side of the road and I own several hundred feet on either side of my driveway. From looking at neighbors boxes and muddy trenches it appears putting it about 20 feet before he reaches my drive would be best. (He seems to have a long incoming glide path and a short exit path ). Thoughts?
