Gibraltar changed to driving on the right in 1925 because of the border
problem.Did Austria dive on the left until 1920? Does anyone
know?
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

Tanzania / Burundi
Tanzania / DR Congo

AMERICA

Hong Kong /

India / China
India / Myanmar
Macao / China
Nepal /

Pakistan / Afghanistan

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.
