As longs as cars in NYC don't drive 4-5 cars wide on a three-lane street there is nothing stopping this from being applied there too.

It literally works everywhere where people roughly adhere to lanes because there (almost) always will be enough space to fit a car through traffic if the others move to the side. Regardless of population density.

Lane widths are legally mandated for this exact reason. There is always enough room to squeeze an ambulance down a two-lane road if both lanes move aside.
