The mark is in plain sight next to the roadway, but finding a place to park is difficult, as the road is heavily traveled, and there are practically no shoulders to pull over on. As noted, this mark is on the crest of a hill and it is also a curve, creating a blind spot for motorists. Use your discretion here, and be safe. Happy benchmarking
