I have to chuckle when I think of the size (width) of streets. When my little home town in Nebraska was laid out in 1890, when the train company decided to put a station at that spot, the streets were built to accommodate a terrific boom that apparently never happened. Main street is so wide that there is room for diagonal parking on each side, and a row of diagonal parking in the middle, with one driving lane between the side and the middle.
