How does “mixed” work? Variations at the local level? People just ignoring the rules and doing what they like? Or is this a joke that I’m too American to get?
Also, I can definitely tell those colors apart for left and mixed super easy, I totally know which ones are which, just don’t ask me to prove it.
I think the question is asking for an explanation of how that is possible that some areas are right and some are left within the same country. Does the local government decide (city, state, etc), or is it something else, and why.
Additionally, they seem to be partially color blind, since they can’t differentiate the purple from blue.
I assume the traffic just moved slow enough at that point in time that the rule was “make way” when you saw another vehicle rather than “always stick to this particular side”.
Again, this is just an educated guess and have absolutely nothing to back up my assumptions.

Italy, Spain and Austria are in purple. “Mixed” means that there was a mix of left and right in various parts of the country.

Comments like these remind me that so many maps are super unfriendly to the color blind, which has to be annoying to so many people
This is a 1922 map though, not current
Yeah i totally missed that, edited my edits. Thanks!

If you don’t know stuff about a topic… how can a guess be “educated”?
“I am educated and this is my guess.”
“OK, I may only be educated in underwater basket weaving, but still…”
Now I want to be educated in underwater basket weaving!
Sorry, I’ll just present my assumptions as fact next time.
I think the point is that it’s just a guess, not an educated guess.
