Did
You Know...
In olden days the nobility would ride on the left so their sword hand, usually
the right hand, would be on the same side as an on-coming horseman. Conversely,
with armed nobility riding around, it made sense for peasants to walk on the
right, facing the oncoming traffic. This was the case in the UK and Europe.
In France after the revolution it was a bad idea to be mistaken for nobility,
so everyone started to travel on the right. Napoleon carried this convention
with him as he conquered large parts of Europe and built the first international
road system since the Romans. Only the UK remained on the left.
