Very simple and effective. Macau uses a double clover interchange which is very complicated, and some poorer nations only have a policeman to direct you to the other side.
At smaller, less busy crossings where it’s often just a single carriageway of road, there’s just a sign directing you to switch sides, or the border control agents direct you across. It’s interesting to think about in practice, but hard to visibly map. As such, I haven’t made a crossing like that yet.
The only example I remeber, you just said, about Macau and China. I like this example very much, and I would be happy creating something like this if some neighbor of my countries drives on other side, but it is a personal question - I see you dont like so much this option, hehehe
There’s a more modest example on the border between Guyana and Brazil. It’s fairly recent if my memory serves, the bridge only having been built in the 2000s.
Wow, so a part of Guyana drives on the right… interesting. I would’ve thought it’d occur on the border, but maybe it’s easier to switch sides of the road fully on land. And I’m not opposed to the big and fancy road-side switching options, I just find that for my purposes there is no real need for that.
Guyana used to be a British colony, that’s why. Naturally we had to keep ‘our’ drive side, so that British car manufacturers had a monopoly…just how the Empire worked.
I wouldn’t mind having a neighbor driving on the wrong side, but no detail is provided at the border areas, and the one road I do have with Riko is one way heading towards it.

see at your former diary entry = a crossing with a bridge.

Oh! I never got in my mind that Guyana drives in other side, hehehe!!!
