Well, that road is the exception, not the rule, but most roads in Barrie, especially new ones like that tend to be very wide so that mammoth SUV's can park on either side of the road and 2 more mammoth SUV's can easily drive between the parked ones

(4 cars across with some room to spare)
The beat up blue van is my friend's (with the Civic) parts van, and the silver two tone one parked across the street in the last picture is his daily driver...a 1986 Chev Astro 5-speed with no rear bumper
BTW...those aren't the full-size Chev vans....those are the midsized ones
