    It’s very prominent in Japan. Unless a passageway is explicitly marked otherwise, everything and everybody in Japan is suppose to pass on the left. Even ships in water lanes and taxiing aircraft pass on the left.

      Huh? In driving, the slow lane is left and passing is on the right. On escalators (except in parts of Kansai), it’s stand left and walk (pass) right. Even in subways and train stations, walking is generally left (though some stations swap this in some/all sections for whatever reason). There is signage about this, though people routinely ignore it.
