Parking! What wording is best for a leave my dropped kerb clear sign?

I have a dropped kerb onto a drive where our campervan is parked (and no, there are no covenants saying I can't park it there).

Parking is in short supply where we live and there is a gap between my dropped kerb and the next one which is only just big enough for two small cars. For some weird reason, the boundaries of all the properties are at an angle which means that our drives are too. Consequently, if someone parks over the edge of my dropped kerb, it makes it really difficult to get the van in and virtually impossible to get it out because the road is narrow and I can't swing it round enough.

So I need a sign. Is 'Please don't park over any part of this dropped kerb' or 'Please leave this dropped kerb completely clear' better?

I could pay to have the dropped kerb extended but a) that would cost a lot and b) mean that only one car could park between the two kerbs. I don't really want to reduce the street parking any further because quite a few of my neighbours have no off street parking.

I can do a picture if you like Smile
