This meant that Sweden needed to adapt to the traffic system in the rest of Europe, where in most countries people already drove on the right side.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eIn 1955, an advisory referendum was held where a majority of Sweden's population voted no to introducing right-hand traffic. Despite this, the Riksdag decided in 1963 that Sweden would switch to right-hand traffic in 1967. This was actually the second time Sweden introduced right-hand traffic. Sweden officially had right-hand traffic between 1718 and 1734, but since no one followed it, they switched back to left-hand traffic again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBefore the right-hand traffic diversion, large information campaigns were carried out about how the change would take place. Many people were worried and expected chaos and traffic accidents on the roads. Instead, it turned out that traffic accidents would decrease. It was probably not just due to the right-hand traffic. Sweden also introduced new traffic rules, scrapped free speed on roads and made structural changes to traffic on the roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"post-content\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e©\u003c\/span\u003e Sjöberg Bildbyrå\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"post-content\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFrame not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"post-content\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #b3b3b3;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that the images are cropped slightly differently depending on the size you choose.
