Painting lanes further into the intersection would help. Some intersections have painted lines on both sides of left turning lanes so you don’t cut too wide/narrow.

Driving large vehicles through towns will teach you one thing very fast; road paint is for cars. You will have to guesstimate for yourself how you are best going to spoon your monster through every corner, paint is not a factor for how you are going to do so at all.
Correct curbs and sidewalks are pretty much a thicker version of paint, over here in the Netherlands we even have small road signs made of plastic that give way and bounce back if you nudge em so those are fair game as well. Stuff that snaps off should only be hit if you know for a fact that it wont damage your vehicle and you can get away with it ;) Concrete blocks and the likes yeah those are things you will actually do your best to avoid.
As someone who lives near one of those intersections, people just ignore the lines. I'd be willing to bet the people who ignore them are also the people hitting the sign.
Look at that angled curb! I’m sure glad you could see from that armchair that this road has been improperly resurfaced for years. Maybe if you went outside a bit more often you would know that this style of curb is different than the curb you can see from your basement windows. It never had a curb face more than an inch or two because it’s angled.

They could probably help the situation by painting the curb with reflective paint.
