I'm just curious, because I don't have a strong opinion on this: If the area is clearly delineated for parking is that different?
I have two examples:
1. Angle parking, like you'd find on main street in a small town.
2. Parallel parking, with meters, and lines painted, like you'd find downtown in a big city.
This is compared to a street which simply allows parking, but has no markers or meters.
I'm thinking:
1. This isn't really the roadway. You'll be dodging in and out at every intersection because of the way these are normally built.
2. This depends, sometimes you have the same problem, and sometimes you don't.
