Norman,

I've noticed that not only do we Americans keep right when driving, we do it
when walking on sidewalks or down a hallway as well.  Do the British "Walk
left"?

            The first recorded history of KEEP LEFT was horse and wagons
crossing the bridge over the Thames River in London when all there was was
horse and wagons , this was causing major problems on the bridge with some
wagons on the left side of the bridge and some on the right side , the local
police started to guide the horse and wagons on one side which happened to be
the left , all it took was time for it to be KEEP LEFT on all roads on London
roads ..
