title: Driving in Singapore text: Driving in Singapore In Singapore, cars and other vehicles drive on the left side of the road, as in neighbouring Malaysia, due to its British colonial history (which led to British driving rules being adopted in India, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong as well). As a result, most vehicles are right-hand drive. However, exemptions have been made to allow foreign vehicles and construction machineries to utilise the roadspace of Singapore. As such, vehicles with left hand drive configurations are required to either be driven with a sign indicating "LEFT-HAND-DRIVE" or towed. The per-capita car ownership rate in Singapore is title: Driving in Singapore text: "Bukit" as "Bt", "Boulevard" as "Blvd", "Close" as "Cl", "Central" as "Ctrl", "Crescent" as "Cres", "Drive" as "Dr", "Jalan" as "Jln", "Kampong" as "Kg", "Lane" as "Ln", "Lorong" as "Lor", "Upper" as "Upp", "Place" as "Pl", "Saint" and "Street" as "St", "Tanjong" as "Tg"). Exceptions include roads that end with less common words, such as "walk", "hill", and "park". Left Turn In Singapore, it is illegal to turn left (into the nearest lane, due to the left-hand driving) during a red light. This rule, however, does not apply if a "Left Turn on Red" sign is present at the junction, title: Left- and right-hand traffic text: 1 and 4 in Seoul subway). Most trains in mainland China drive on the left side of the track, but metros drive on the right due to their independence to general tracks. Left- and right-hand traffic Left-hand traffic (LHT) and right-hand traffic (RHT) are the practice, in bidirectional traffic, of keeping to the left side or to the right side of the road, respectively. A fundamental element to traffic flow, it is sometimes referred to as the "rule of the road". RHT is used in 163 countries and territories, with the remaining 78 countries and territories using LHT. Countries that title: Left- and right-hand traffic text: the UK, Cyprus, Ireland, and Malta. Nationalist China adopted RHT in 1946. This convention was preserved when the CCP took the mainland and the KMT retreated to Taiwan. Hong Kong and Macau continue to be LHT. Both North Korea and South Korea switched to RHT in 1945 after liberation from Japanese colonial power. Myanmar switched to RHT in 1970. Samoa, a former German colony, had been RHT for more than a century. It switched to LHT in 2009, being the first territory in almost 30 years to switch. The move was legislated in 2008 to allow Samoans to use cheaper title: Left- and right-hand traffic text: Turnpike. New York formalized RHT in 1804, New Jersey in 1813 and Massachusetts in 1821. In the early 1900s some countries including Canada, Spain, and Brazil had different rules in different parts of the country. During the 1900s many countries standardised within their jurisdictions, and changed from LHT to RHT, mostly to conform with regional custom. Currently nearly all countries use one side or the other throughout their entire territory. Most exceptions are due to historical considerations and/or involve islands with no road connection to the main part of a country. China is RHT except the Special Administrative Regions of
