Do Cars in Hong Kong Drive on the Left or Right?

[McJaxson]

Hong Kong follows the left-hand traffic system, which is inherited from the United Kingdom (representative of Western developed countries). Relevant details: 1. Historical Background: Driving on the right or left was not fixed from the beginning but evolved over time. According to the British, their left-hand driving tradition dates back to the ancient Roman Empire. 2. Development: Due to historical reasons, Hong Kong follows left-hand traffic rules, while mainland China follows right-hand traffic. Therefore, in road traffic matters, mainland China and Hong Kong have adopted a 'one country, two systems' solution. Mainland vehicles entering Hong Kong must follow Hong Kong's left-hand traffic rules, and conversely, Hong Kong vehicles entering mainland China must also adapt to local customs.
