Are vehicles in Macau left-hand drive or right-hand drive?

[EliFitz]

Macau, like Hong Kong, primarily uses right-hand drive vehicles, although left-hand drive vehicles also exist. However, the number of left-hand drive vehicles is significantly smaller compared to right-hand drive ones, mainly because Macau follows left-hand traffic rules, making right-hand drive vehicles more practical. The prevalence of right-hand drive vehicles in Macau can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Historical reasons. Influenced by Europe, China drove on the left before 1945. It wasn't until World War II, when the U.S. provided China with a large number of American-made left-hand drive vehicles as aid, and right-hand traffic gradually became the global standard, that mainland China switched to right-hand traffic. 2. Economic reasons. Hong Kong is a free trade port, and historically, almost all vehicles in Hong Kong were right-hand drive. To facilitate vehicle imports from Hong Kong, Macau maintained the left-hand traffic tradition. Although the vast majority of vehicles are right-hand drive, the Macau government actually permits the registration of left-hand drive vehicles. Today, in addition to right-hand drive vehicles, left-hand drive vehicles can also be seen in Macau.
