Default Question for long-term TV residents

So I was making my way to Aldi, and a couple of things struck me as being worthy of running by those of you who have lived here some time and know what's what.

Normally, the most exciting thing to happen on an Aldi visit is the Russian roulette of whether or not the golf-cart will make it over the bridge, but today things went well as I didn't have Mrs Fox in the cart. Not that she's heavy, you understand, but all the same...

In front of Lowe's there are maybe eight areas with white bands running across the road. I had assumed that these were where pedestrians should cross but, since over half of those present were ambling across in-between two sets of bands, often walking on the diagonal, they must be there for some other purpose.

And on arriving at Aldi I usually park on the left. Here, the white lines are painted closer together so, in my foxiness, I had assumed that this area was for golf-carts. But since there were two cars parked straddling these lines then clearly my assumption is, again, incorrect.
