Right Hand Traffic

What does right-hand traffic mean? We explain what is meant by right-hand traffic and also what the opposite of it is, as well as how it affects the position of the driver's seat.

Right traffic means driving on the right side, as we do here in Sweden. The opposite is left-hand traffic, and applies in Australia and England, for example. In right-hand traffic, the driver's seat and steering wheel are located on the left side of the car, closest to the center line when driving on a road.
