Questions on Rashi:

How could Rashi say the Rabanan agree to Rebbe Yehuda that only need a lechi or korah on each side? The Gemara on Daf 6a said the rabanan require a tzuras hapesach on one side and a lechi or korah on the other?

If Rebbe Yehuda holds two mechitzos create a Reshus Hayachid where is there a case of a סרטיא or פלטיא that is considered a Reshus Harabim (listed in גמרא שבת דף ו) as their roads had walls on the side of them?
