Anyone else feel uncomfortable driving on tight, narrow lanes?

Keep your focus on your path ahead, not on the rails or passing traffic. That's how you stay in your lane. Yeah, it's uncomfortable, but when you're skilled you can do it safely. The speed limit is only 30, so man-up and do it. Shight, I drove a bobtail truck on roads like that.

You ought to try a trip over the PA mountain range on the 76 turnpike, you have 2 feet to the wall. I'm not going to lie, it takes several years of driving experience to confidently and comfortably drive. Can you imagine how white knuckled the guys hauling semi commercial triple trailers must feel like? My first ex wife lives in Carlisle, those PA roads are the scariest and narrowest roads in the US of A.

You are supposed to position your car so that you have space all around you, either side as well as in front. Even with wider lanes the cars are supposed to be staggered like that. You should only be beside another car if you're passing them or vice-versa, or in traffic that is standing or crawling. Obviously with narrow lanes that becomes more important. That bridge looks like it would really benefit from solid lines between the lanes though. It doesn't look like a good place to have people overtaking and switching lanes.

Yes. The old Huey P. Long bridge before Hurricane Katrina.

The lanes are at least 7 feet, probably 8 feet. Some people have no idea of where the right side of your car is, and are afraid to come within one and a half feet from walls/jersey barricades. You should be able to get within 4 inches of whatever.
