It took me about a month to get comfortable on
driving to the other side that I used to drive for 20 years.
Australia drives on the left. The decision to drive on the left side of the road was made in the early 19th century in the early period of the British colony of New South Wales.
Thankfully roads
in Australia are well signed, equipped also with pavement
markings and lines making it real easy for the foreign driver to drive here. The most helpful sign is without doubt the KEEP
LEFT sign.
The sign is used near the start of a central
island, median or similar device where traffic can physically pass on either
side but it is necessary for all traffic on the particular approach to pass it
on one side only.
The sign and the left arrow is also used in other occasions. It seems that the last days everywhere I go I find one of this in front of me.
