Samoa was a German colony until occupied by New Zealand at the beginning of the First World War. Until September 2009 it maintained the German practice of driving on the right-hand side of the road. This practice had been in place for more than a century. A plan to drive on the left was first announced by the Samoan government in September 2007 and was confirmed on 18 April 2008 when Samoa’s parliament passed the Road Transport Reform Act 2008. [...]

He aims to reduce reliance on expensive, left-hand drive imports from America. [...]

The change came into force following a radio announcement at 5.50 local time (16.50 GMT) which halted traffic and an announcement at 6.00 local time (17.00 GMT) for traffic to switch from the right to the left-hand side of the road.
