Sure it is likely not as dangerous on a smaller residential street than Highland Ave, but how do you write a law saying it is OK on some and not on others?
Because I felt like I learned this rule when I got my license (I got it in MA when I was 16) I checked and the "Rules of the Road" book from the RMV states: "In Massachusetts, you may not park your vehicle in certain places:..... • Facing the wrong way against traffic"
Because the rule are enforced by town, some must let you do it while others don't, but the State Law says it is illegal. Why each town is different I can't answer.
