If you have never been be very careful crossing the street since driving is on the opposite side. You’ll be amazed how habituated one is when one is used to the way it is done in America. Someone told me when there a number of Americans are killed each year because out of habit they looked the wrong way before crossing. Also in some parts of London the double decker buses really go fast compared to what I expected at least.

Lots of crossings have “Look Right” painted right on the crossing——in HUGE letters.

Yep. I almost got killed in London by a motorcycle driving between stopped lanes of traffic because i was looking the wrong way whilst jaywaliking. I tell my children - look both ways twice - in some countries they side they drive on is inconclusive from observation.
