I suspect the lack of sidewalks also reduces vehicle speed by visually making the street appear narrower. The default speed limit is 20 and some neighborhoods are marked 10.

The overnight street parking ban also plays into this.
I doubt that that overnight street parking ban is enforced very much, TV land does NOT have enough Police so it is sort of a wild west, catch as catch can approach to everything!
