what to do with grass verge that people keep driving on!?

[strath44]

Hey folks,

we have a run of about 20 meters of grass verge about 0.75m wide, it keeps getting driven on and when it rain it gets pretty muddy.

I spoke to roads (scotland) and they say that as we are not in a 30mph I cannot build a kerb! So what can I do?

I have seen 50mm or so stones used but open to suggestions from anyone in a similar situation!

ps sorry this from my ipad and its the correct way on the device but not here

thanks, I'm told by the council i own it!

thanks for all the feedback, I contacted the council because I wanted to fit kerb as it seemed the most sensible option however they said that it is not a 30mph that if someone hit the kerb and flipped the car it would be my fault which is an interesting comment! I guess I will look into boulders painted white etc however they IMO look a bit rubbish and are a pain to cut the grass around!

Unfortunately timber lorries have started using our B road to clear a huge forest and they drive onto it to let people pass.

our situation is a little different as we are rural and it is cars / lorries passing rather than a parking issue. However I have seen a lot in the papers recently about people parking on grass verges and the council clamping down etc!
