> Well, I blame him for a lot of things other than that (for example, all the art masterpieces he stole and are now into French museums)!

Well, you could blame the English. We used to jump on French Army columns marching up the left side of the road, so Boney made his armies march on the right to give them a chance to defend themselves.

> Do you know that, up to the 20s, all streetcar services in Italy ran on the left hand side (while motorcars, bikes and horse-driven carts had to run on the right hand side), following the railways use (actually, all European railways run on the left hand side)? In Milan, streetcars were switched to run on the right hand side in 1926 (not a big problem, because the streetcars were all double-ended) because of the increasing motorcar traffic.

Big problems! Crossing at junctions must have been fun.

Trains here run on the left, at least when there's only two tracks. Big commuter lines have anything up to eight tracks and then it's anybody's guess.
