Now it is pointless to do so since roads are wide enough to pass simultaneously.
It's not pointless. It's still a sign of respect. A lot of things arose out of practicality and continue just for traditions sake. Doesn't make them pointless.

My reasoning is that it is faux respect...it is not real.
You don't know the deceased, family, or members of the procession.
And you sitting on the shoulder of the road comforts no one. You are not sitting there out of respect....you are sitting there for no other reason than you were told to long ago.
It is a prime example of the 5 monkey experiment in which people keep doing things because they misunderstand the reason for doing it in the first place.
