Vehicles in India run on the left side of the road and the motorcar's stairing is on the right side, while in most Western countries including the US, the vehicles run on the right side of the road and the motorcar's stairing is on the left side. But do you know the reason behind this? If you are unaware of the answer to this question, after reading this article, you will surely know why the vehicles in India run towards the left side of the road and move towards the right in America.
The introduction of rules on the road - the rules relating to walking on the road in all the countries of the world took place at different times, but you would be surprised to know that in most of the world in the olden times, in most countries of the world, only to move to the left side of the road And the tradition of walking on the right side of the road for the first time in the 18th century was the beginning of the tradition.
The first real archaeological evidence of the law relating to walking on the road is derived from the Roman Empire. Studies of those evidence show that civilians of the Roman Empire used to run on the streets on the left side. There is no clear evidence that people of the Roman Empire used to run on the left side of the road, but during the whole medieval time there was a tradition of walking on the left side of the road.
During the medieval period, walking on the roads was not always safe for travelers and they had to avoid the robbers who came from the other side of the road. Because most of the people used to work from the right hand, because of this, the swordsmen kept the sword in their right hand while walking on the left side of the road and could easily attack the enemies. Apart from this, people walking on the left side of the road could easily greet the favored friends in the street with the right hand.
In 1300 AD, Pope Boniface VIII ordered that people coming from different countries of the world to Rome should follow the rule of walking on the left side of the road during their journey. After this, by the end of the 17th century, almost all Western countries followed the rule of walking on the left side of the road.
The beginning of the rule of right to the right on the road for the first time - In the 18th century, "Teams Stars" was introduced in the United States. It was a big wagon, which a team of horses used to pull. These wagons did not have seats to sit for drivers. So the driver used to sit on the left horse and control all the horses with a whip on the right hand. But due to this the American people had to change the rules of walking on the left side of the road and they started following the rule of walking on the right side of the road.
The main reason for this change was that it was easy to sit on the left horse and keep an eye on the wagons coming from the back or from the front, walking on the left side of the road. In 1792, the rule of walking on the right side of the road in the Pennsylvania province of America was first implemented and by the end of the 18th century, this rule began to be followed throughout the United States and Canada.
The introduction of the rule of right to the road on the road in European countries - the first in European countries was to apply the rule of right to the right on the road in France, but why information about this rule was implemented in France, there is no information available for the related reasons. . Some people say that the French revolutionaries did not want to abide by the order of the Pope, so they followed this rule. There is also a belief that the French did not want to follow the rules used by the British. Apart from this, some people believe that Napoleon started the rule of walking on the right side of the road.
Napoleon later spread the system to all the countries on which he had conquered. Even after the defeat of Napoleon, most of the countries in which he had won the decision decided to continue on the right side of the road. The most important of these countries was Germany, which occupied many European countries in the 20th century and implemented the system of moving on the road on the right in those countries.
Due to the rule of walking on the left side of the road in India - wagons from horses were never used in England like in the United States, because it is not easy to pull these wagons in the narrow streets of London and other British cities Was there. Apart from this, Napoleon or Germany never won on England. This is the reason that the rule of always walking on the left side of the road is always followed in England and in 1756 it was made the official law. As the British Empire expanded, the rules related to walking on the left side of the road were followed in all British ruled countries. Because India was under British rule for 200 years, due to this, the rule of walking in the left side of the road is also followed in India.
Current status of countries that follow the rules related to walking on the right or left side of the road
At present, the rules of walking on the right side of the road in 163 countries across the world are followed, while 76 countries follow the rule of walking on the left side. All except Britain, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus In the European countries, the rule of walking on the right side of the road is followed. In China the rule of walking on the right is followed. But the law of walking on the left side of the road in Hong Kong and Macau, which is the occupation of China, is followed.
