One thing about driving in Canada is that residential roads are usually known as "shared lanes". This is where there is *technically* 4 lanes but you drive in 3. The left most and right most are parking lanes while the middle can be for either direction. Lemme try to draw this out: |1|2|3|4| <-- theory 1 and 4 are for parking 2=v and 3=^ (directions). |1|v^|4| <-- actual If two cars are on the middle lane (opposite directions) whichever one has room goes into the parking lane and yields for the other car to come forward. No real right of way, just who's most polite.

Is that car in the middle of the road? :)
I believe it's almost in the middle of two roads. ;) But they drive on the right here, so expect small oddities. :)
