Very common in my area is 44 feet of concrete with no lane markings and parking allowed/not allowed as announced by signs. Parked cars are sparse. Motor vehicles normally line up 2 abreast at stop signs.
This originally had solid yellow lines in the middle, now faded.
This is an ambiguous lane count street. Typically posted 30-35 mph (for comic relief purposes).
As a cyclist I FRAP so I take the lane when cars are parked. Motorist conflict is very rare.
As a motorist I have to be alert to others passing me on the right when I’m not breaking the speed limit sufficiently for other’s taste.
