It was common for them to be right on the road with one of the fueling lanes in the same area as curbside parking. Everyone knew to give way for it and it wasn’t any more dangerous than someone parking against the curb.
Not much luck on historic photos for that area. But did find this website with a great photo of curbside fuel pumps.
