Bus cut too sharp and drove up on some rocks in the front of this house.
Guy was tired of having people drive over his little flower bed held in by wood posts, so he put 2 big rocks, still a few feet off the road. This school bus found them. Neither flower bed or bus was harmed, rocks did their job.

I think I might need to do the same at the end of my driveway. The damn driveway is 12 feet wide, flaring out to about 15 feet wide at the road, yet delivery trucks (mostly Fed Ex) still drive thru my garden several times per week, cutting the wheel too early.

A 15 ft driveway is tiny. No wonder the delivery truck can’t make it.

My driveway is about 10' mostly, but at the end I had them flare it out to maybe 35' as a funnel. Nothing for them to run over, but with a gravel road shoulder that tends to not drain well I'd rather not have trucks running over the edge of the pavement to break it up.

12 - 15 ft is actually pretty wide, for a residential driveway. Most are 10 feet wide here. Some even 8 feet.

I'm talking about residential delivery, not semi trucks or commercial property.

You can try setting a couple of pylons where you don't want them to drive.

Just don't expect them to last very long. You'll never guess how I know that. Thankfully I have lots of them.

Driveway spec is 16' wide around our area, and have a turnaround for fire apparatus to get to your house. Not that many follow these guidelines. Your figure that 16' gives in and out without going off the road bed. Good rule to follow if your drive is more than 100' and doesn't have a good sight line.

Every residential driveway I’ve ever built has 20 ft culverts and gravel equally as wide at the end. Thats no over kill for the turning radius of my 4 door long bed.
