Looks like I have to straighten y'all out yet again..
I have never backed up over the curb. If someone was across the street , limiting maneuvering room, I'd just park the rig on the street until they left.
I have run over the curb a couple times 'exiting' my driveway due to tight conditions.

The (well intentioned) suggestion was that you might consider backing
over the curb as a strategy for dealing with street congestion, hence
the further suggestion that you ease your way over the curb using a
couple of planks as a ramp of sorts. On the other hand if you're
comfortable with leaving the boat parked on the street until more
space becomes available, none of that is necessary. Some of us were
a bit concerned about your self described maneuvering by hand which
could be potentially dangerous if it gets away from you or strains
your back.
