My uncle worked for NJ Bell. They had orange decals with black lettering made up that read "CURB SIDE SAFE SIDE." They were installed on the window molding on the driver's side door of all the company vehicles. Henry Ford promoted that for safety. In fact, many Model T's didn't even have doors on the driver's side. Center consoles took all of that away! Can't slide from side to side any more.
A neighboring town has parallel parking on their Main St. I'd like to shoot some of the drivers who just throw their doors open and blithely step out into the traffic.
