The road in front of our house is like the one on the right, though somewhat wider, and it's a collector road with a lot of traffic. Because of the curve, and the cars and trees along it, as a pedestrian you're mainly relying on your hearing to tell if there's a car coming. Which isn't ideal. I have to cross the street to get my mail, and I have to jog now and then to make it.
