PJ WRITES!

Doing my best to find balance in all facets of life and watching the clouds go by.

Håll dig till höger, Svensson

I’m at a loss for rant today or just about anything else it seems. It was a good week, a long week but a very good week. In my internet ramblings, I came across this little jewel which is quite interesting when you think about it. Imagine changing all the traffic in a country from driving on the left side of the road to driving on the right side of the road in a single day!

On Dagen H, Sunday, 3 September, all non-essential traffic was banned from the roads from 01:00 to 06:00. Any vehicles on the roads during that time had to follow special rules. All vehicles had to come to a complete stop at 04:50, then carefully change to the right-hand side of the road and stop again before being allowed to proceed at 05:00. In Stockholm and Malmö, however, the ban was longer—from 10:00 on Saturday until 15:00 on Sunday—to allow work crews to reconfigure intersections. Certain other towns also saw an extended ban, from 15:00 on Saturday until 15:00 on Sunday.
