THE MARK IS 0.33 METERS SSE FROM A WITNESS POST. THE MARK IS 0.91 M ABOVE HIGHWAY.

Traffic on this roadway is rather high, and it is relatively narrow in spots up this way. Parking is limited, but not impossible.
In this case, park on the same side of the road and just past the mark, at a pull off just before the curve.

Wait for all traffic to pass before attempting a recovery.
Think ahead, be safe.
