      Considering Edge lane roads have reduced crashes by 44% in the US I’d say they fare pretty well with American vehicle ownership. When drivers are sharing the lane with oncoming traffic, it tends to slow their cars down a bit regardless of size. I’d even wager that larger trucks feel the calming effects of this tight road design more than a small car.

      Plenty of neighborhoods in the us with parked cars on both sides of a bidirectional travel lane wide enough for one car. Cars go slow and negotiate for space. It’s a very similar concept here.
