As a general rule, youre not wrong. Its a bit different in this neighborhood (eastern MA). Pretty sure these streets were designed for horse and buggy. People park on the street here and that makes it a 1 lane road in most cases. It's really not built for anything modern.

I hate to break it to you but walking was around before horse and buggy. Pedestrians used to flow through streets and jaywalking wasn’t a thing. If a street is like that, it shouldn’t have any cars at all, or be subject to glacial speed limits.

How on earth does a road like that have a 55 mph speed limit?
