I think you have 3 choices for your problem.

Fixed I suppose. I started out with two fiberglass reflector poles. Those worked well enough but I had to hammer them back into the ground after removing them to mow and one of them got run over. After I broke the top off the second one with a little too much mallet persuasion I upgraded. These poles have a spike that stays in the ground and a spring on the bottom so the should survive a brush with a bumper better. Not really ideal but cheaper than adding more asphalt.

I didn't read all the comments, but wasn't the initial problem from a truck with a long wheelbase?
The turn looks difficult without the truck swinging out.
Or am I missing something?

Those are all but invisible...

A year and half in the making and it ends with 3 reflective sticks.

Rock and gravel.

Once the delivery drivers find out those sticks are spring loaded, you'll be right back where you started.
The problem as I see it, based on your pictures, is that the radius for making that right hand turn onto the driveway out is all wrong. It's too sharp a corner for any large vehicle to make it easily.
I'd dig out the grass and use some of the grid material with gravel to keep it from leaving tracks and make the corner more drive-able.

Landmines. That will teach those fooking Amazon delivery guys.

There is no inexpensive way to keep lazy or bad drivers off the grass.

There was a business at the end of the street where I worked. They spend a lot of money landscaping their business and had a nice green lawn and flowerbeds. Lazy and crappy truck drivers would clip that corner and ruin the lawn. They ended up putting some decorative 3 foot across rocks on the corner to keep the trucks off. Large rocks several feet in diameter are silly heavy and expensive to get in place. They ended up stopping one truck driver that made a total mess of the lawn when he got stuck on the rocks.

Good luck with whatever solution works. The reflective rods will work for most drivers, but not the really careless ones.

A few cents worth of Roundup will

what about cutting up that sod and lining it with some border stuff. i like the maliable steel borders, and they fill the area with golfball sized rocks? let the traffic drift in. if you bought rocks that match that wall in color, i think it would look nice.

Carefully placed sink hole.
Just mull it over, that's all I'm saying.

The IED will mark it's future spot!

Now we're getting somewhere.

They say that the best weapon is the one that you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree! I prefer... the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far.

Make it someone else's problem, move.

Why not do a row or two of pavers that match your landscaping or general color palate?
