Look Right

Wandering about London on foot we were frequently greeted with stenciled directions on the pavement telling us to either Look Right or Look Left or sometimes Look Both Ways. These warning signs were placed there in the hope of saving the lives of visiting non-Britons. In London and all of Great Britain people drive on the left, which is the opposite of what the rest of Europe does and what we do in the United States. Truth be told though, there are so many one-way streets and roads are so non-rectilinear that anyone could use these missives, because there frequently was no telling where the traffic was going to be coming from. We observed these warnings and generally didn’t jaywalk, did a lot of walking, had a good time in London and lived to tell the tale.
