My mailbox and a neighbor's got wiped out Tuesday night and I'm thinking about having a new one bricked. Anybody on here do that or have someone they could recommend? I live near the Nashville Superspeedway between Smyrna and Mt. Juliet.

Put two boxes up. The one on the right full of concrete on a steel pole.
Th one on the left your normal mailbox!
Then just pick the bat with the hands stuck on it up out of the yard in the morning!
It will literally break their wrists!

State or county right of way is 10 feet on each side of the road. It is illegal to build permant fixtures or buildings on right of ways. There was a lawsuit in monroe county over a car hitting a brick mailbox and killing the driver. The drivers family sued the homeowner and their insurance along with the state and won

Yep, I've read about dozens of cases over the years here in Paducah and Memphis where the homeowner lost the suit.

I believe it varies with type of road(# of lanes, width,etc) and locations( county roads, neighborhoods, etc)
