Pretty much. Bikes go with traffic, pedestrians go against.

This, and if you want to argue about it I suggest you refer to the drivers handbook from your local DMV, which covers this subject, or call your local police department and ask them.

I think OP is debating whether traffic in general should go on the left (as in the UK) or on the right (as in the USA)

>>1044059
And the answer doesn't change.

>>1044059
Doesn't really matter

>>1044059
Totally makes no difference.

Try telling that to the retards in my city that insist on riding their bikes against traffic and going the WRONG way on the bike lanes.

Make all roads one-way.

Biomechanics and the majority of people being right handed says that you should drive on the right and have left hand drive cars.
With a manual, shifting is easier and if power steering is lost, right turns (the tightest and therefore hardest) are easiest.

Driving on the left in Britain stems back from the days when people would carry their swords on their right sides , and would stay on the left to make it easier to draw their swords on ,on coming riders !

Sword on the left to draw with the right dominant arm, thus riding on the left so the sword is away from those passing you but can be drawn on them.

scientific research indicates that ocular preference of the majority makes left-side traffic slightly safer.
Also having your right-hand designated mainly for the steering wheel and the left for the gear shifter and other controls is more appropriate for the right-handed majority.

Honk your horn at them as you go by, they should eventually get the message.
A horn is supposed to be used to indicate a hazard or make people aware they are causing a risk
