I'm not sure. But I'd assume they're narrow and having 100's of vehicles going in and out is the problem. But I don't really know and yes agrees on the curb cuts.

Back lanes are a relic of a bygone era. Even the grid streets lanes are there for ice delivery by cart. Even my grandparents 1960's bungalow had an ice box and milk drop in the back wall.
