..and they wonder why SUVs have become so popular. We have a fuel station near here that has scrape marks from the dip.
I think the issue here is that the ‘dip’ is necessary to maintain a water-run that will flow down the road at the kerb to reduce the likelihood of standing water in the road.
These dips can get worse and worse as roads are "dressed" and not maintained properly, so the camber starts to become excessive.I think the issue here is that the ‘dip’ is necessary to maintain a water-run that will flow down the road at the kerb to reduce the likelihood of standing water in the road.

It’s got worse over the years as the roads have been built up to avoid flooding but the bloody signs still show the old height

Anyway, I've been on touch with highway department, there is no issue in putting a temp ramp in place for it, as long as it is highlighted with cones, cones are taped as a barrier and there is a marshall watching, and will be having a proper sit down to discuss fixing the issue further down the line.
