Interestingly if you look at the bigger image (click on the little one) you 
will see that on both sides of the street cars are parked facing both ways.
It's a sample Pommie street with Council housing from the 50s (IMnotHO); the 
cars have Pommie number plates.
As an example photograph it is poor, the fallen blossoms are brighter than the 
road markings and quite confusing; there are no moving cars so we have no idea 
how many lanes there are other than a faint broken centre line.
