Those sidewalks always amaze me at how claustrophobic they feel. You dedicate like 20 m of space to cars and can only spare like 1 m to actual human beings living there?
Yeah what's with the hatched lines artificially widening the road? Couldn't that be more pavement? It's not like it's even being used for cars.
Large roads ussually have a shoulder for when vehicles break down and can be removed safely off the roadway. It would also allow additional cars when the turn lane backs up from rush hour/event congestion.
It just doesn't look like a particularly large road. We have shoulders on the motorway but that's usually 3 lanes either way.
