Antarctica edit

Nobody drives in Antarctica? They have a highway and vehicles, so shouldn't this map sat which side they drive on? (Waiting for the obvious reply: "They drive on the bottom"...) Guy Macon (talk) 14:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Isn't this a question of government? On top of that Antarctica doesn't have universal laws. Parts of it are claimed by the UK whereas other parts of it are claimed by countries in which they drive on the right hand side. --Dharion (talk) 15:43, 10 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Would that mean that Americans have to drive on the left side of road? Because they'd most likely be in New Zealand territory. Alec scheat (talk) 07:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Im pretty sure the vehicle just drives on the side of the road the driver prefers. I doubt the "highways" are busy enough for there to be a need to move to one side of the road, surely everyone drives in the middle haha? But if they did follow which government they were in you've got a big variety, as you have the UK (left), Chile (right) and Argentina (right) zones (all very much overlapping) around the peninsula, then you have the Australian (left) and New Zealand (left) zones with a french (right) zone in the middle, plus a Norwegian zone (right) and let's not forget the numerous bases located around such as Sanae (South Africa/left), Vostok (Russia/right), Concordia (Italy/right) and Syowa (Japan/left) the list goes on.. but there is definitely a variety of driving directions here :) Bezuidenhout (talk) 10:41, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
I mean, there has got to be some way they can show right of way or something to others, guess everyone just kind of.. respects and shows intentions? 0w0 catt0s (talk) 14:25, 17 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

It's ridiculous to have the map indicate that Antarctica drives on the right unless evidence can be produced which demonstrates that those are the laws throughout the continent. Otherwise it should be shown in grey and stated as 'unknown' or 'not applicable'. Xophe84 (talk) 15:49, 7 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Palestine edit

Why is West Bank colored gray? What does that mean? On which side do they drive in Palestine? --93.136.55.7 (talk) 12:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I was just coming on here to say the same thing, they drive on the right, this map should reflect that, other than that its a fantastic map. Abrahamic Faiths (talk) 18:07, 7 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Colours edit

Shouldn't the most common colour on the map be blue and the least common red? I think if the colours were swapped the map would be easier on the eyes. 123popos123 (talk) 16:31, 21 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Changing Subject, Japan should be purple, not blue, as they changed from LHD/RHT to RHD/LHT in 1979. Charlieindiawhiskey (talk) 17:01, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
