Explanation:
Googling på //divide road +diver// gav flg.:

Dictionary of American regional English - Google Books Result
by Frederic Gomes Cassidy - 1985 - Foreign Language Study - 903 pages
A sudden short dip in a road) Inf VT7, Dive hole. diven See dive diver n Also ... what I would call it. divide n chiefly West 1 A mountain range, ridge, ...

Dive hole er altså et (måske farligt) hul i vejen, og så er det oplagt at diver kan være (slang for) et hul eller sænkning i vejen.

Jeg håber du kan bruge det og ud fra sammenhængen komme videre.
