Because you live in a city designed for horses and carriages? It's tough enough driving a small sedan in Sydney, the idea of trying to park an American-style monster SUV here scares me. Much of Europe and Japan is exponentially worse.
Fun fact: in California, most lanes are 12 feet (3.7m) wide. In Sydney, many major roads including the Harbour Bridge have 2.8m lanes, and there are buses 2.5m wide driving on them.
- maxerickson 8y agoDo the dimensions on something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Edge#Second_generation_(2015%E2%80%93present) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Edge#Second_generation_(2... qualify as "monster"? I guess 1.9 meters will be manageable enough for most drivers given a 2.8 meter lane.
- chrisseaton 8y agoBut why do you want to drive a car into a city?
- jpatokal 8y agoI don't and very rarely do, but there are narrow lanes on many Sydney arterial roads well outside the city, like Parramatta Rd.
