- Jamie9912 2y agoTrain tracks in Sweden are still left-hand traffic
- usr1106 2y agoLike in France (excl. Alsace and Lyon metro). But which track trains use has extremely limited effects on the general public.
- piva00 2y agoIt's barely noticeable except when I come back from abroad and expect train doors to open on the wrong side, it happens maybe a couple of times until I get used to it again.
- usr1106 2y agoFor trains the door side is hardly ever standard, even if the train always uses a certain track out of 2 directional ones. Some stations have center platforms, others have side platforms. Maybe there is some network in the world with only one type, but in most cases they come in a mix.
- noduerme 2y agoStill on escalators everywhere, if you're standing, you stand on the right. If you're passing, you pass on the left.
- usr1106 2y agoEverywhere as everywhere in Sweden? I'd guess in London it's the opposite (has been a while, cannot remember).
- dom96 2y agoIn London on the tube escalators you stand on the right and pass on the left.
- chronogram 2y agoThe escalators in London had signs with "please stand right" the times I've been there.
- echoangle 2y agoThat's not related to left-hand traffic though, right? You also overtake other cars on the left when driving in right-hand traffic.
- yencabulator 2y agoIn Tokyo it's common to stand on the left and pass on the right. https://www.getaroundjapan.jp/archives/4730 https://www.getaroundjapan.jp/archives/4730
