Does Hong Kong drive on the left or right side?
1 Answers
China's traffic regulations follow the right-hand traffic principle, meaning vehicles and pedestrians keep to the right side of the road, while Hong Kong drives on the left. The reasons are as follows: 1. Hong Kong's traffic rules were established during the British colonial period. 2. The United Kingdom follows left-hand traffic domestically, so the initial roads were built for left-hand driving. Relevant driving customs are as follows: 1. Right-hand traffic: Mostly typical continental countries, such as the United States, China, Russia, Germany, France, Brazil, etc. 2. Left-hand traffic: Mostly typical island nations, peninsulas, and subcontinental countries, such as the United Kingdom, Japan, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
