The best reference for which side of the road countries drive on is the Thomas
Cook International Timetable. There are some fascinating anomolies - why for
example do Mauritania and Venezuela drive on the Left when neighbouring
countries are on the right? (PS I realise that Guyana also drives on the Left).
This leads to a question - what happens at international borders where the rules
change from one side to the other? Is there a flyover? Maybe traffic lights
control a 'Change sides now' intersection?
What about a trivia question - Which is the only country which drives on BOTH
sides of the road (in different provinces)?
I know is a bit off topic - but its interesting anyway.
