Get some of the fiberglass right of way markers and place them on the right of way. If you calll your county commissioner, you might get the county to install them.
Increased traffic on country road.

They would literally mow or grade right over them. They already do that to pipeline markers. As far as the county commissioner doin' anything, it's a good ol' boys club and I ain't in it.

Sorry to hear about the old boys club. I have lived in a couple areas like that, ranging from the annoying to worse. I haven't ever found a productive way around it.
I'm not saying that moving the fence isn't a good solution for your issues, but here folks veer off our local road often enough that I don't mind my fences being back 5-6' from the road. Often times, we look at the accident site and scratch our heads as to how they managed to veer/lose control in that location, as the road isn't exactly interstate straightaways...
All the best,
Peter

Not sure being set back makes a difference, my daughter launched her jeep into a cattle pasture. Had t-post holes in the hood and roof. Playing on the phone....... Made her drive that thing for another year or 2.

It's lovely having things in common. Yes?
Living on a dead end road is nice.
We also have a camp that's not on a dead end road..how ever one of the top priorities when buying this place was that it couldn't be a short cut in any way possible. We see maybe 4 cars on it each day on a nice holiday weekend. And that's 3hrs from NYC.

That's the way that our camp road was while growing up 50 years ago. At that time you could drive through, but needed something with good ground clearance. That has since changed so that you can't get through. However, there also have been subdivisions put in up beyond the pond; and those are the people who are the worst transgressors.

So back to the topic at hand. I posted earlier about I also had increased traffic on our township road. I had talked to our county engineer, who I know, she used to be my boss. She later on was at a meeting and talked to other county engineers about the issue. It appears it happens all over the place, they all have similar problems. One person even said they have a low narrow viaduct, all sorts of warning signs and even flashing lights. They still have semi trucks get wedged in. Long story short, they probably aren’t going to do anything.
I have also played with different nav. apps. There are settings for no tollways, shortest, and a new one, most efficient. I can’t help but wonder if the most efficient translates to roads that wouldn’t have gotten used before.
