I love these Buzzfeed articles about what surprises people about differences between countries. I especially liked this one comparing the US and the #Netherlands

ncsufoxes In Boston, most lights you can‘t turn on red (or the intersections are really odd). We moved to MD a few months ago & I‘n always sitting at a red light waiting to turn red. 2mo
ImperfectCJ I would love it if we got rid of "right on red." It's so dangerous for pedestrians. 2mo
jdiehr Here in Oregon, some stop signs have an additional sign that reads "except for right turn," meaning Stop Unless You're Turning Right. I couldn't believe it when we first moved here! 2mo

Read4life We‘re in the Virgin Islands so it‘s “Left Turn on Red” 🚦#KeepLeft 2mo
Catsandbooks I live in a more rural area so there's not many pedestrians or bicyclists to worry about if turning right on a red 2mo
LiseWorks In Canada, you stop on red, turn right if it's safe. You can't turn right in Quebec. 2mo
GingerAntics @LiseWorks why can‘t you turn right in Quebec? 2mo
GingerAntics @ImperfectCJ as a full time pedestrian since 2016, I agree with this. It would piss odd drivers, and would quickly become the most broken traffic law, but its death defying to cross the street as a pedestrian. 2mo
GingerAntics @jdiehr oh my god! How many pedestrians die in Oregon? 2mo
LiseWorks @GingerAntics Quebec has a lot of laws that are not Luke the rest of Canada lol. They follow civil law, the rest of Canada follows England laws. Don't get me started with the marriage laws. 2mo
GingerAntics @LiseWorks so they just make it up as they go, and everyone in Quebec is cool with it? Interesting. 2mo
