There are several corners in St. John's which are maximally awkward to navigate. There are a couple of intersections where five or six streets meet at a funny angle and they've attempted to make it into a traffic circle, but with lights. I'm told that the patterns make more sense for drivers on the left side of the road, which is the way things were here up until a couple of years before Confederation with Canada (which occurred in 1949). And giving it some thought, and picturing the roads in question, it does make sense. I think with a grid system the side of the road on which we drive would be inconsequential, but anyone who's driven in St. John's knows that this city is the farthest thing possible from a grid system!
