>I see that it is NOT on a right of way, since if it were it would have to be in the driving lane.
You should know that the road right-of-way almost always extends beyond the edge of the road.

True. If someone runs over your mailbox, they owe you a new mailbox. What's a mailbox cost? A hundred bucks, tops? But if you put something out on the side of road, and somebody runs into it and is killed or seriously injured, you WILL get sued and the liability could be upwards of several hundred grand. Of course, the merits of the case will be decided by a jury of your peers. "Peers" in this case meaning some people who had nothing better to do than show up for jury duty. The good news is you should be able to deduct the cost of replacing your mailbox from the multi-million-dollar settlement those nice folks are going to award the plaintiff.

These days, anything placed near a highway is SUPPOSED to be "breakaway" or otherwise protected. Sometimes they fail to work like they're supposed to, and often lawsuits follow. You may have noticed that highway departments have been aggressively removing trees near roadways, sometimes infuriating residents by cutting down hundred-year-old trees in the name of safety and risk management.
