Not that I care about vehicular traffic. 🙂

Because that’s not where the utility tunnels are. You run utility tunnels down the middle of the street so it’s equally accessible by both sides of the road
Manholes are typically placed on roadways for access to underground utilities. Sidewalks are for pedestrians, not vehicles. 😉
Ha! Tell me you’ve never left your hometown without saying it. Look dude, [manholes on sidewalks](https://sohobroadway.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/psc-mrc-broadway-spring.jpg) is [the norm](https://www.citysignal.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mohammad-rezaie-DRGowUxA6as-unsplash.jpg) for [most cities](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/steam-rising-from-dpw-manhole-cover-on-sidewalk-with-old-fashioned-fire-hydrant-new-york-city-joe-fox.jpg) in the US. Wtf are you talking about? 🤣
Because it’s easier to provide service to both sides of a street if the tunnels, pipes, etc. run down the middle of the street, with service lines branching off in both directions. Also, street is city/government land and easier to rip up and repair. Some underground tunnels may be larger than a sidewalk and would require ripping up people’s yards.
