I have a corner lot, and there is a stop sign on the corner (not that has anything to do with my question...). When people drive around the corner, the drive over the curb. Sometimes they go a foot or more into the grass. The curb has been destroyed, and the corner is a bud pit because of people driving over it.
So I decide to do some landscaping. I put a rock and a wood stump in the grass near the corner. Pics here:

Surprisingly, people not only continue to drive over the curb, but now they drive over the rock and the stump. I'm concerned that someone is going to hurt themselves or their car, and sue me. Yeah, I know, how is it my fault if someone drives through my yard and runs over my landscaping and hurts themselves or their car? In this era of decadent lawmaking, I'm not sure I'd win such a case.
So, my options:
1) remove stump and rock, let them destroy the corner. 2) Put a bigger rock there.Any comments? I'm not sure what I want to do - People don't seem to be smart enough to stay on the street, and sooner or later someone is going to damage their car and even hurt themselves. Then they start to think of suing me.
