- I always pick up #2.
- I keep the leash tight enough to pull them away from actual yards, using the strip of grass between the sidewalk and street when possible for #1.
- It's near impossible to stop a dog from marking favorite trees, mailboxes, and poles. Once one dog marks it, all the other join in.
This. But I’m guessing that OP lives in a neighborhood where there are no sidewalks and/or no strip of grass next to the street. In that case, I might let my dog pee on the very edge of the lawn, next to the street.

If city, county, town, municipal maintained, maybe. Homeowners maintain that strip you're talking about between street and their yard.
