Developers are building half-width streets in Western Sydney due to current planning laws, as local councils and the state government blame each other over the issues the narrow roads are creating for residents.

…that said, there is a distinct lack of cycle/pedestrian infrastructure and the style of vehicle traffic makes it hostile.
Of course, the best solution to that is limiting car traffic to a single lane, no on-street parking, and a 20km/h speed limit.
