OK, so let's try the thousand words approach instead...

Short section of fence coming from the right side of the front arbor to a point 30 inches in from the sidewalk. Longer section of fence running along sidewalk to the corner of your yard. Fence then runs along neighbor's driveway and makes another 90 degree turn in to meet the front edge of your side arbor.

I know you want a taller fence along the neighbor's driveway, but how about stepping up the height with successively taller panels rather than going from a 2 or 3 foot fence along the sidewalk to a 6 ft. one at the driveway corner. I think that would be a good transition and would create a more welcoming effect as well as not giving your neighbor a sense of claustrophobia as he backs out of his driveway. For more privacy, you could put an additional 6 foot tall panel of fencing on the other side of your trellis...
