Switching sidesSourced

At five in the morning, traffic used the other side

On 3 September 1967, Sweden switched from left-hand to right-hand traffic. Vehicles permitted on the roads during the transition stopped at 04:50, moved to the right and waited until 05:00 to proceed. Bus stops and junctions also needed changes.

A short pause separated two ways of using the road.
