Have any of you been to borders where road traffic changes sides of
the road? I would be interested to see any photos of this.

There are 30 borders worldwide where road traffic changes sides:

AFRICA
Kenya / Ethopia
Kenya / Sudan
Namibia / Angola
Somalia / Djibouti
Somalia / Ethopia
Tanzania / Burundi
Tanzania / DR Congo
Tanzania / Rwanda
Uganda / DR Congo
Uganda / Rwanda
Uganda / Sudan
Zambia / Angola
Zambia / DR Congo

AMERICA
Guyana / Brazil
Guyana / Venezuela
Suriname / Brazil
Suriname / French Guyana

ASIA
Bangladesh / Myanmar
Bhutan / China
Hong Kong / China
India / China
India / Myanmar
Macao / China
Nepal / China
Pakistan / Afghanistan
Pakistan / China
Pakistan / Iran
Thailand / Cambodia
Thailand / Laos
Thailand / Myanmar

I think Hong Kong / China may have the highest traffic of these
borders. Before Sweden changed to driving on the right in 1967, it
had large amount of cross-border traffic with Norway, which was one
of the reasons for the change. Apparently, they used to have cross-
over bridges at some of the major crossing points.
