So, any of you left-drivers know how the road looks like at a national border where 1 of the countries drive on the left side and one of the countries on the right?
The four most common ways of switching traffic from one side to the other at borders are:
* Traffic lights. Examples are:
o Friendship Bridge between Thailand and Laos, change takes place on Lao side
o Second Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge, between Thailand and Laos, change takes place on Thai side
o Friendship Bridge between Thailand and Myanmar
o New bridge between Thailand and Myanmar (opened in 2006) - photo
* Crossover bridges. Examples are:
o Lok Ma Chau between Hong Kong and mainland China
o Lotus Bridge between Macau and mainland China
* Border roads intersect with roundabouts or other one-way traffic systems. Examples are:
o Man Kam To between Hong Kong and mainland China
o Land border between Macau and mainland China
o The Eurotunnel Shuttle service of the Channel Tunnel between the United Kingdom and France
* No automatic infrastructure (signposts and directions only), most commonly found at borders with low traffic volumes. Examples are:
o Poipet between Thailand and Cambodia
o Old bridge between Thailand and Myanmar
o Khunjerab Pass between Pakistan and China
