It seems that Shanghai had left-hand traffic before the World War II end. Why did Shanghai use left-hand traffic, while the rest of China (except Japanese-occupied Manchukuo) used right-hand traffic? It seems that Beijing had left-hand traffic until 1945 too.
All the foreign powers made of the municipal government were driving on the left back then. That included Britain, US, even Japan who later occupied part of the international settlement in the war time. Yes, even US was driving on the left at the time.
@@monicahoo8514 it seems that Canton was a British colony too, or otherwise a British-influenced area. It seems that Beijing also had left-hand traffic in the 1930s-early 1940s, perhaps because of Japanese influence during the Japanese invasion. However, China except Beijing, Manchukuo, Shanghai and Canton seems to have used right-hand traffic already before World War II.
想起了情深深雨蒙蒙
很繁榮
全是正宗繁體
简体最早是国民政府推出的 不要当历史白痴

The central part of Shanghai was a British colony back then.

@@jra5 Beijing seems to have been driving on the left during Japanese occupation. Or was Beijing driving on the left already in the 1920s?
所以殖民地方大多數都這樣
