It took a while for me to figure this out, but there's actually an unmentioned rule in the US that you walk to the right when you're passing people, at least when it's congested enough that you have to choose. I see a lot of people from overseas struggling with this where I work, at least early on.
- Sacho 10y agoIsn't that just a parallel of driving rules?
- 13of40 10y agoYeah, I was responding to the "we walk on whichever side we feel like" part, which is not the case in the US.
- hibbelig 10y agoGerman here. It's totally non-intuitive for me that I should pass on the left when driving but pass on the right when walking. Or vice versa. When coming to London, this always makes me spend extra CPU cycles to ensure that I'm not doing anything wrong.
