After a week or so of driving around on the left side of the road we are pleased to report that things are still good. Actually, at the moment they are better than normal. Most people are driving slowly (the temporary speed limit is 25 km/h in town) and there are plenty of police patrolling the busiest intersections. With all the new signs and road markings in place it is easier to get around than it used to be. Even all of the traffic lights are working (for now). We have found it easy to adjust to driving on the left and there haven’t been any reports of major problems.
The bus drivers have come to an agreement with the government about installing new doors on the left side of the buses, so that seems to be OK now.
Over the first few days there were no accidents reported. Now there have been a few crashes, but they have been minor and most of them had nothing to do with the road switch. I reckon it won't be long until everyone has forgotten that they ever used to drive on the right.
