    It’s surprisingly difficult! Do you think you can turn right on a red in Provence? Would you remember to double check all your assumptions before going on vacation? Would your muscle memory fail you?

    There are a truly staggering number of stories of people getting on the highway the wrong way or going into the wrong lane at an intersection when driving in the UK - there’s so many laws and habits we learn to operate in our society… and those aren’t the same everywhere.

      Well yes, and yet even with these lapses you mention our cities are not in eternal pandemonium.

      Laws, signage, design of street scapes et cetera, all contribute to homogenising behaviour.
