I can change these, if need be--I based it largely on the QAA of *here*.

Why don't you change Henua's color to purple. Its first cars probably came from South America rather than Oceania or Japan, so it would have picked up its customs from there. But it looks like the (non-French) Oceanian countries went ahead and standardized their driving directions, and Henua would have gone along with them. By the way, France and Castile have some territories in the Pacific that should be recolored. Their locations are as-yet undetermined, but some of those dots do represent them. I can make those changes. In fact, I'll make them now. Benkarnell

Done. I also colored all those islands around Antarctica to match the SR; the Falklands now match Armorica; the Faeroes match Iceland and Greenland; and the Shetlands match Scotland. There's no driving on Rockall, of course, but if there were, it would match Ireland. Benkarnell 20:11, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I decided that Henua never made that switch, but Dan has the new file. Just for the record. Benkarnell

Ben, if it would be easier, I can send you a PNG file that you can re-save as a jpg? Never mind...I see you've already done it. Would you mind doing left v right as well? BoArthur 20:12, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

One problem -- you undid the change I made to Mueva Sefarad/Newfoundland. Would you mind uploaded a version with it turned Purple? BoArthur 20:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm learning to use Paint.NET, so JPEGs aren't impossible to work with, but the changes still don't come out like yours when you use Photoshop, or whatever your program is. I hope this is all right. Benkarnell 20:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Looks good to me. I actually use MSPaint and PNG's -- but I recently discovered that I've inherited a copy of Photoshop 5.0, which, while it's not latest greatest, it's lightyears better than MSPaint. BoArthur 20:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Xliponia - contrary to Greece and your map - has left-hand drive. Kyrmse 19:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I wondered about Shliponia. And I wondered when you'd chime in. I'll correct it! BoArthur 19:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

What does the green colour imply exactly? "Once had different rules of the road" could mean many things, from "road handedness formerly indeterminate" to "road handedness varied between different towns and locales on an arbitrary basis" to "no reliable information". - Geoff 15:53, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Sounds about right. The green countries seem a hodge-podge of types, and I think the designation boils down to "we don't really know enough about this country's driving habits to say for sure which side of the road, or both, they drive on". Elemtilas 22:33, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

That's exactly what I had in mind when I wrote it, Geoff. BoArthur
