New Ottawa Driving Rules

i saw this the other day, but forgot to post it.

Driving on left side of road to improve safety.

March 28/2018
Ottawa



Today the transport minister was happy to announce that commencing June 01/2019, Ontario drivers will have to drive on the left side of the road.
The ministry has allocated 10.2 billion in research and development of the idea. It was found that driving on the left will improve safety and keep traffic moving much more efficiently. Thus, creating less gridlock , which in turn is good for our environment. " It's a win win for us all" , the transport minister tweeted.
The new law would require vehicles have there steering wheels moved to the right side of the vehicle. A technical analyst for the Ontario government said "it will be a simple conversion , that shouldn't cost more the $ 350.00" . The Ontario government said it was willing to pay for half of the conversion.
The premier of Ontario was also excited to hear about the changes . She noted that with the changes to road signage , and the modifications to automobiles it would be a huge boost for our economy. She posted on Facebook " Ontario is changing lanes "
It was advised by a technical analyst to simplify the transition to driving on the left. That it be implemented slowly. It was suggested that only trucks drive on the left for the first month. Then all traffic use the left starting July 01. The final drafts of the legislation will be on the Ontario website.
