Considering Edge lane roads have reduced crashes by 44% in the US I’d say they fare pretty well with American vehicle ownership.

Plenty of neighborhoods in the us with parked cars on both sides of a bidirectional travel lane wide enough for one car. Cars go slow and negotiate for space. It’s a very similar concept here.
