Actually, it is very common for a curve to be narrower than the
straightaways, because it has to be curving around something, and that
something can impose a barrier on how wide the road can be.  It is
also very common to not have parallel parking on a reverse curve, or
even on a straightaway for that matter.  I'm not clicking your link to
glorify your site hits (and I'm sure you boost your own site hit count
whenever you can via the refresh button), but what you're describing
sounds like an ordinary rural or suburban street to me.
