BTW, while we may think that driving is a universal thing, I instantly found it amazing how North American this is. From the integrated indicators, to cars passing on your right, to the road lights and even how the road undulates. Having said that, great project!
Edit: Well I got this entirely wrong and missed that this was meant to be lefthand traffic. (I caught a segment that looked more like there was an independent road passing an interstate crossing a city, rather than being opposite lanes.)
- berkut 4y agoErm, the cars are driving on the left (red taillights on left side of motorway, white headlights on right)... wouldn't North America be the other way around, with cars overtaking on the left?
- otabdeveloper4 4y agoHe means cars overtaking you using the lane to your right. In Europe this is against the rules.
- berkut 4y agoYes, but the cars are driving on the left in this demo (like in the UK), so on the right is where you do overtake legally - in the faster lanes. I haven't noticed any "overtaking" on the left, where it would be illegal in some countries that drive on the left in the few minutes I've watched it.
- masswerk 4y agoI happened to watch a segment where the cars on the opposite lanes looked more like passing on an independent road, so I missed that this was meant to be lefthand traffic. And it really looked more like an interstate passing through a city. – My failure.
- mbrameld 4y agoI think it's from the UK or somewhere else that they drive on the left. Opposing traffic is on the right.
- jansan 4y agoAlso, the co.uk domain may be a hint.
- hugginn 4y agoIsn't this left hand traffic though? As in, not what you'd find in America? It feels very Swedish to me, except for the traffic direction.
- masswerk 4y agoYou're right. Still, cars passing on both sides was so North American to me that this blended in this specific impression.
- Jamie9912 4y agoWhat do you mean Swedish except for the traffic direction??
- hugginn 4y agoDepends on where you are of course, but reminds me of approaching Stockholm, just before it gets so thick that people start loitering in the left lane. Perhaps Salem, if traffic isn't too heavy.
- netsharc 4y agoIf it's Sweden before 3 September 1967, even the traffic direction is correct... http://realscandinavia.com/this-day-in-history-swedish-traffic-switches-sides-september-3-1967/ http://realscandinavia.com/this-day-in-history-swedish-traff...
- jstanley 4y agoWhat do you mean by "integrated indicators"? Don't cars have integrated indicators all over the world?
