Umm, yes.

Have you been in many towns in the last - oooh - few decades?


What's actually happening is that people are insisting on parking on
both sides of the road. To leave room for traffic, they park on the
pavement. If they all parked the same side, there'd be room, both for
the traffic and the parked cars. Of course, some people would have to
walk all the way across the road to their front door.

Having everyone park on just one side of the road is a good scheme,
indeed if the road is narrow it's the only possible way.

On wider roads however it means there's only room for half as many cars
(compared to using both sides).

Since the basic problem is that there are lots & lots of cars...

The basic problem is that the streets were
designed before most houses had multiple cars.
