Chicken-bleep mother-froggers! Lol
Edit: There was a house in my hometown who had a similar problem, though a country road with a 90° turn. They put giant boulders in front of the house too.
Some distant friends of mine were racing down the country road in two cars trying to be the first to make the 90° turn. It went as expected and one car hit the boulder, launched in the air, hit the garage, went through the car in the carage and came to rest in the bedroom. Luckily everyone walked away, including the man in the bedroom who sleeps naked.
The moral of the story is it is good to have idiot friends, so you have a collection of fun stories to share over beers.
I know of one spot near me that's been hit three times.
It's hardly a bend, but what will get people is the slight rise in the road before it. You don't notice it at 35 (or even 45) , but if you're reckless and over compensate when your weight comes back down you end up in their living room.
The house near me has had their fence taken out 3 times in 3 years. People used to fly though the neighborhood (35) going 55 plus and take too much speed into the curve and hop the curb. City added 2 all way stops and it has for the most part slowed people down
My mom’s house is at a T intersection at the bottom of a steep hill. When it snows at least one car ends up taking out the rock wall we built when I was a kid. Then I have to come back and rebuild it before the next storm.
The last time it happened we could see the path the guy took home as the oil leaked out of his pan after mounting the wall.
It’s a 30 mph road that loops so it’s mostly only delivery people and residents, but no one has made it more than 10 feet into the yard in 30 years, though the accident rate has seemed to increase in the last 10.
