flanked on both sides

Hi everyone.
In this sentence: "The path is flanked on each side by four statues." this means that there are eight statues in total, right? four on each side. Whereas if i said "the path is flanked by four statues" that would imply that there were two statures on each side, yes?
Thanks for your help,
TT
