Good start for Sweden.

Now, time to switch from left side politics to right side politics.

They should have eased into the switch by having the cars drive on the left and trucks on the right. (cough cough)

What's odd is that when in a country where they drive on the "wrong" side of the road people also tend to use the same pattern in shops and on the sidewalks.

In the US we tend to stay to the right when going down a supermarket isle or walking on the sidewalk... it's just the opposite somewhere like Britain.

Push your grocery trolley down the right side of the supermarket isle in London and you will cause a pile up :-)

Did the driving patterns that emerged after the automobile became popular (affordable) reflect the patterns that horse and buggy traffic was using?

Sorta reminds one of Massachusetts, where everyone drives in the middle.

And then, of course, there are those countries where people drive anywhere and anyway they feel like. And those are scary, scary places...

I was stationed in Okinawa when they switched from the right side to the wrong side. On July 30, 1978 they simply shut the entire island down to all vehicle traffic and moved all the road signs. It actually went pretty smoothly, but now we had to adjust to driving on the wrong side of the road. I still have my 7/30 Day t-shirt.
