I found my way driving to work today, despite several wrong turns. It's only 2 miles away but it can really be super confusing. You might think otherwise, but I personally think the street signs are not very intuitive. Street signs are not quite the thing either..they are only located at intersections. Even so, not every roundabout has a sign that shows the road name (ie. A811, or Dumbarton Road). Instead, the arrow pointing to the exit of a roundabout would say "Stirling Castle" which is a landmark. In one single roundabout, you can have more than one exit with the same street name. Ahh...so confusing!!! So! I have learned that your best bet is to find out what major cities, landmarks, and big towns are relative to your destination because more often than ever..these street signs will just say..."this way towards edinburgh" or "this way towards thistle shopping center" bleh!!!!
So today I found out why some people drive on "normal" side of the car. I got into a co-workers car and it turns out he used to live in France so when he came to Scotland, he took his car along with him! That's why...people from Spain or France take their cars with them into Scotland so that's why you see some people drive on the left side instead of the right side.
Glad you made it in 1 piece!
