Burma is a fascinating story. They switched, like Sweden, but without planning.

The reason? A fortune teller said the country would be prosperous.

And now people exit the bus into the traffic instead of the sidewalk. Because nobody has the money to replace the buses or cars.

That is fascinanting. Can you provide a source for this story about a fortune teller?

They could switch sides of the road, instead of replacing the vehicles. Moving and rotating all the signs is probably cheaper and easier.

Replacing the vehicles is effectively free, if you do it slowly as you replace vehicles anyway.
