I was shocked when I learned about it a few years ago too. There are thousands of homes in Windsor that don't have driveways and there's nowhere else to park but on the street. To accommodate street cleaning, residents are required to alternate what side of the road they park on every month based on the signs.

People have a right to own a car. Leaving cars on the street at night causes no harm and the cleaning argument makes little sense considering how infrequently residential streets are cleaned.
