Question At what time of day on which day of which year did Sweden change from driving on the left hand side to the right hand side of the road?
Answer Hello David, since 5 am Sept. 3, 1967, Sweden has right hand traffic.
There is still a few "resistant pockets" with left hand driving, mainly associated with bus and tram operations. I know of two places in Stockholm, where buses go "wrong way" because of the road and traffic situation, which hasn't been possible yet to rebuild.
