    This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 14 February 2025. Directionality of traffic flow by jurisdiction Countries by direction of road traffic, c. 2020 Left-hand traffic Right-hand traffic No data Left-hand traffic (LHT) and right-hand traffic (RHT) are the practices, in bidirectional traffic, of keeping to the left side or to the right side ...

  3. Chirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality

    [1] Human hands are perhaps the most recognized example of chirality. The left hand is a non-superposable mirror image of the right hand; no matter how the two hands are oriented, it is impossible for all the major features of both hands to coincide across all axes. [2]

  4. Road - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road

    The definition of a road depends on the definition of a highway; there is no formal definition for a highway in the relevant Act. A 1984 ruling said "the land over which a public right of way exists is known as a highway; and although most highways have been made up into roads, and most easements of way exist over footpaths, the presence or ...

  5. Airfield traffic pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern

    Traffic patterns can be defined as left-hand or right-hand according to which way the turns in the pattern are performed. They are usually left-hand turns because most small airplanes are piloted from the left seat (or the senior pilot or pilot-in-command sits in the left seat), and so the pilot has better visibility out the left window.

  6. Sinistral and dextral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinistral_and_dextral

    Chirality, however, is observer-independent: no matter how one looks at a right-hand screw thread, it remains different from a left-hand screw thread. Therefore, a symmetric object has sinistral and dextral directions arbitrarily defined by the position of the observer, while an asymmetric object that shows chirality may have sinistral and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(physics)

    Any Dirac field can thus be projected into its left- or right-handed component by acting with the projection operators ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (1 − γ 5) or ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (1 + γ 5) on ψ. The coupling of the charged weak interaction to fermions is proportional to the first projection operator, which is responsible for this interaction's parity ...

  9. Social dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_dynamics

    The field of social dynamics brings together ideas from economics, sociology, social psychology, and other disciplines, and is a sub-field of complex adaptive systems or complexity science. The fundamental assumption of the field is that individuals are influenced by one another's behavior.
