A mailbox should typically be placed on the right side of the driveway as you face your home from the street. This placement allows for easier access for mail carriers, who often drive on the right side of the road. Additionally, it ensures that the mailbox is safely positioned away from traffic and minimizes the risk of accidents. Always check local regulations for specific guidelines in your area.

Which side of the road can you put your mail box when the rural carrier goes both ways?

In rural areas where the carrier travels in both directions, the mailbox should be placed on the right side of the road. This allows the carrier to access the mailbox without leaving the vehicle, ensuring safety and efficiency. It's important to ensure the mailbox is set back from the road to avoid interference with traffic.

How much space do you need to leave on each side of the mailbox when parking?

If the mailbox is mounted on the house he must have a clear path to the mailbox. If you are mounting your mailbox on a rural road, mount it so the bottom of the mailbox is 47 inches from the surface of the road. Mount the mailbox far enough off the side of the road where it won't get hit. 12" is a good figure to use. Remember that school buses and trucks have mirrors that stick out on the right side that could hit your mailbox. If your mailbox is on a street with a curb, mount the mailbox so the bottom of the mailbox is 47" from the street. Mount the front of the mailbox 9" from the curb.

This is governed by local ordinances. However, where the "front yard" is a relatively small parcel between the street and the main house, many municipal ordinances prohibit buildings and sheds. Some allow canopies and exterior additions to extend from the main house over a driveway.
