I can't say that I fully understand why this is happening NOW, but Samoa has decided to start driving on the left hand side of the road. This hasn't been done by any other country in the past 40 years... what gives? Apparently, they're trying to get on board with Australia and New Zealand (their nearby neighbors). Supposedly, most of their tourists are used to driving on the left. Talk about a bow to tourism... what will happen to all the discarded road signs?

Out of curiosity, I wanted to know what the worldwide status is for left/right side driving. Wikipedia delivered again:
Red, Orange, & Green countries drive on the right
Blue & Purple countries drive on the left
