How far would you need to be off the road, to be safe, & still be able to warn the oncoming drivers? At those speeds and those conditions? It would be about impossible I'd think. We had a wreck just down the road from my house a couple years back, (maybe 1/4 mile) my house/driveway is at the crest of a small hill, I stood out waving at cars to slow down (45mph zone here) and we still had several near misses, 2 cars off the road (like a banzai blast through the ditch at full speed, not a little skid into the shoulder), almost a truck/camper jacknife, 1 guy lost control, skidded through the oncoming lane, up into the opposite ditch & then regained control, and 1 guy nearly crashed into a fire truck. I finally convinced the officer on traffic control to come over to the opposite side of my drive to give the rescue crews some safety. This was like 4 in the afternoon, sunny, and dry, in June.
Sometimes even if you try to warn people they aren't going to notice you anyway.
