Where would you have installed them? You’ll get hit by the driver door if you swap the orientation.

    If you are going to have parking, then you put the bike lane between the travel lane and parking. Drivers usually will look before blindly opening their door into traffic. Passengers won't usually do that because they're usually along the curb. Drivers that don't check, wouldn't have anyway because they're insane.

    At least on the driver side the driver tends to look for traffic before swinging open a door.

    There's no perfect solution without redesigning everything but the passenger side between footpath and car park is the worst place without actual large buffer zone
