Rule of the Road An International Guide to History and Practice

The rule of the road--the simple requirement that traffic keep either to the left or to the right--has a history long antedating the appearance of the automobile. This volume, the first book-length treatment of the subject, discusses the origins and history of the rule of the road and provides complete information on current practice throughout the world. A well-written account of a universal arrangement that has largely gone unnoticed by scholars, this book fills a gap in scholarship on the history of transportation.Kincaid, Peter is the author of 'Rule of the Road An International Guide to History and Practice', published 1986 under ISBN 9780313252495 and ISBN 0313252491.
