BTW, while we may think that driving is a universal thing, I instantly found it amazing how North American this is. From the integrated indicators, to cars passing on your right, to the road lights and even how the road undulates. Having said that, great project!

Edit: Well I got this entirely wrong and missed that this was meant to be lefthand traffic. (I caught a segment that looked more like there was an independent road passing an interstate crossing a city, rather than being opposite lanes.)

I think it's from the UK or somewhere else that they drive on the left. Opposing traffic is on the right.

Also, the co.uk domain may be a hint.

Isn't this left hand traffic though? As in, not what you'd find in America? It feels very Swedish to me, except for the traffic direction.

If it's Sweden before 3 September 1967, even the traffic direction is correct...

You're right. Still, cars passing on both sides was so North American to me that this blended in this specific impression.

What do you mean Swedish except for the traffic direction??
Re:Nightdrive by hugginn on Friday September 23, 2022 @01:52AM (#32948519)
Depends on where you are of course, but reminds me of approaching Stockholm, just before it gets so thick that people start loitering in the left lane. Perhaps Salem, if traffic isn't too heavy.

Erm, the cars are driving on the left (red taillights on left side of motorway, white headlights on right)... wouldn't North America be the other way around, with cars overtaking on the left?

I happened to watch a segment where the cars on the opposite lanes looked more like passing on an independent road, so I missed that this was meant to be lefthand traffic. And it really looked more like an interstate passing through a city. – My failure.

He means cars overtaking you using the lane to your right. In Europe this is against the rules.
Re:Nightdrive by berkut on Friday September 23, 2022 @01:22AM (#32948357)
Yes, but the cars are driving on the left in this demo (like in the UK), so on the right is where you do overtake legally - in the faster lanes. I haven't noticed any "overtaking" on the left, where it would be illegal in some countries that drive on the left in the few minutes I've watched it.

What do you mean by "integrated indicators"? Don't cars have integrated indicators all over the world?
