Where did you find that?  It sounds oddly like a stunt MoDOT might do.

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.

It looks like a neckdown. It's just a street narrowing past a
restriction, right-of-way it looks like. That's all.

Still zigging when you should be zagging, Carl?

He must be running out of photo submissions and gas money.  Between this 
and the name drop a couple of days ago (it's relatively common to see 
personal identifiers [name, nom de net, domain name] in search keys; 
they show up in my website's stats also), he hasn't added anything to 
his non-temporary website content or provided anything new or meaningful 
in terms of information.

Hey GR,

It's in San Mateo, Calif. along CalTrain.  Can you believe that a 1h15m 
train ride takes faster than driving?  Such is life in the Peninsula. :-|

Hopefully the commute in KC is less hectic.

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

Greetings Carl.

KC isn't bad for a metro area, but it does have its share of choke
points.  Fortunately, my daily commute of 6 miles avoids them all.
I'm well south of the bulk of the rush hour traffic, with both my home
and my employer south of the notorious Grandview Triangle.

I had my one-time experience in S. CA back in June 1995, visiting my
brother during his short stay in San Diego.  I hit morning rush near
San Bernardino, and my car (which handled the mountains and desert
quite well) blew 3 freeze plugs and two hoses on I-215.  I spent all
day in the shop due to the parts requiring transport from Los
Angeles.  The positive effect of that was crossing the Mojave Desert
(I-15) at night.  That made for some interesting lighting sights upon
entering Nevada.

Regards.

Here's a progress report on Steve's argument style:

(1)  He broke down my three collective arguments (to describe the road) 
into separate modules.
(2)  He then downplayed the significance of each three arguments 
separately, as if each weren't part of a collective.
(3)  Thinking that he has downplayed the argument, he then shifts to 
personal attribution, attacking the personal character of the OP.
(4)  Since he feels that he has the foot-in-the-door w/ the downplay of 
personal character, he proceeds to introduce his perception of the OP's 
website, and its level of success.

In summary, he follows a classic pattern to attack personal character:

(a)  Downplay the argument.  Then;
(b)  Provide his feelings of one's character. Then;
(c)  Provide an unfounded explanation to create social bias.

Ironically, this kind of behaviour is quite common in a junior-high 
classroom.

I'm afraid it's also too common here on mtr.
