Seems to me the hazards are the drivers, not the barn. This is a place where nobody should be going faster then 20 MPH, sober or drunk. Narrow country road and barn is 75 feet from a stop sign and deep cliff.
If the Town decides it's a hazard, then maybe they should not have moved the road there. It used to be 50 feet further away. My point being, the Town moved the road closer to the barn, the BARN wasn't built close to the road.
I guess I don't share your concerns. When somebody drives off the road, I blame the driver - not what gets hit. Trucks don't crash on their own, anymore then guns shoot people on their own.
We have many barns around here that are right on the road edge. Also have a few houses like that. Why? Because the town keeps moving roads, and/or illegally widening them. In this case - that road was 8 feet narrower just 20 years ago, but the Town has illegally widened it several times. I've stopped them several times, but can't watch them all the time. In rural areas of New York, towns rarely own any of the roads. Just have implied easements. Often, the Towns have no legal right to widen, but it gets done all the time anyway, and usually goes unchallenged. Last time I stopped them, the Town tried to take some of my land by Emminent Domain.
