in the USA if there is a yellow line where that yellow ison the left it
would indicate both sides of the road were the same direction, and the
cars that are parked are facing away from the camera... that, in
conjuction with the two moving cars facing each other and the subject
line led me to think the guy facing the camera , in addition to being
over the middle line, was behaving badly and they would collide.
In the UK yellow lines don't indicate the direction of travel, they are related
to whether or not one is allowed to stop a car to either wait or park.
Generally speaking, the double yellow lines on the left mean no stopping, so in
theory you don't park on double yellow lines (though people do!) and a single
yellow means you have to look at the adjacent signage to see if there is a
restriction on parking on certain times of day.
See:

The silver van heading towards the camera is overtaking parked cars and is
allows to cross the central line because it's a broken line (dashes). If it
were a solid line, you're not supposed to cross it, but generally they are on
corners or higher speed roads where there wouldn't be cars to overtake. The car
going the opposite direction (away from camera) generally moves left to avoid a
collision. There's plenty of room there for both cars to pass safely, even with
the parked cars on the right :-)
I think it's because some of the parked cars are on the "wrong side" of the
street. I don't think that's allowed where Ann lives.
So, they'd suggest it's a one-way street with the "one way" being away from the
camera.
