Definately check on ordinances and laws about something as solid as a brick mailbox. A guy at the intersection of a state road and the town road I live on build a beautiful brick mailbox and the state forced him to remove it. Also check with your homeowners insurance.
Ditto: The State D.O.T., Counties & most Cities prohibit anything solid from being built within the Right of Way &/or Clear Zone (Typically specified as 30ft from the edge of the Travelled lane), depends on many factors such as Speed Limit & Curves, etc. Your Home Owners Insurance may not cover it leaving you liable if someone hits it.
Good Luck!
