In the Netherlands method B is also used, i.e. entering the street
house number 1 is on your right. What I am curious about is
whether this generalizes to all countries where traffic keeps
on the right (as opposed to left, not to wrong) side of the
road. Can we hear from someone in the UK or Japan?
The case of Indonesia or Virgin Islands would be interested.
These countries keep left, but were colonized by countries
that kept rgight in their homeland.
Or how about Sweden, which switched from left to right in
the 50's.
