About this tool
Choose a country and the tool tells you which side of the road its traffic uses. About a third of the world drives on the left, including the UK, Japan, Australia, India, and Pakistan, while most of Europe and the Americas drive on the right. Check before hiring a car abroad, since the habit is hard to unlearn at a roundabout.
Frequently asked questions
Does the driver sit on the opposite side?
Usually, yes: in left-traffic countries the driver typically sits on the right, and vice versa.
Should I verify before travelling?
Yes. This is a major-country reference; border regions and territories can occasionally differ.
