Well I have a simple cheap set-up that works well for me in upstate NY. It may not work quite as well on a high speed road. The town snow plow driver has actually stopped to tell me how much he likes it. The letter carrier has told me how well it is cleared. I have a 2 inch ( I think)pipe buried in the ground tipping slightly toward the road at top, set back about 4 feet from the box. Inside that I have a 1.25 inch (I think, but it may be 1.5) pipe with a couple elbows, a horizontal extension and a pipe flange to mount the box. It swings nice and easy and the tilt returns it to the proper location (except on real windy days). When the plow comes by they just slow down a bit and it just pushes out of the way (up to 4 feet). When the plow comes back the other way, they cross over to my side of the road and use the forward edge of the plow to cut the bank back. They have to backup and finish clearing the opposite lane. I just pull the box out of the bank and swing it back into position. Like I said, it may not work as well for you, but sure works great for me.
