Things are Different Down Under

I knew about driving on the left, but I found out that many other things are backwards as well.

  • Streets are filled with Keep Left signs
  • The "up" escalator is on the left.
  • When passing people on the sidewalk or in a mall, you need to move left, not right.
  • Pedestrians have the right of way in marked crosswalks.  While you don't want to step right in front of a car, you can just step out and they will slow down and stop.
