Kid might run to the street from behind a parked car. Also cyclist sometimes bump into someone coming out of parked car. > On-street parking is almost always more efficient because the road does double-duty as an access path, whereas parking lots need empty lanes to access cars. Car needs about one 1,5 car lenghts behind to back away form a lot. That doubles as 1,5 car lengts for the opposite car and as access path. Theoretically on-steet parking only needs 0,5 car lenght in front and 0,5 car lenght in back. But this rarely happens as there are no marked lots. In practice the empty space between cars ranges from 0,3 to 1,4 and tends towards bigger. Because people want to park loose when there are not much cars and when the street fills it doesn't even out.
