Glad someone made this comment before me. Here's the MLive article the clickbait is based on. You can learn more about edge lane roads here.

Generally these are good for slower speed routes that don't seea lot of traffic. Residential streets are a perfect example. It's basically how drivers instinctively navigate down slow narrow streets. Not too familiar with that area of Kalamazoo to know if it's a good fit for that road but I'm generally in favor of this road layout and think we need more of them in the US so it's not seen as some scary confusing thing by motorists.
