RE: Why can't people walk on the right side of the hall????
This is interesting - growing up in the UK I was always taught to walk on the right (at school) because it is the opposite to the side we drive on there. If you are on a road with no sidewalk you are safer walking towards oncoming traffic (so to speak) because you can see if there is something coming and can avoid it if it doesn't avoid you. I read this morning that joggers who have their back to the traffic are twice as likely to die as those who face it. My school obviously thought it was safer to instill general 'walk on the right' instinct in us.
I have to say that I had never thought that the rule would apply in places like shopping malls. I'll have to see what other people do around here.
