    An interesting bit of trivia is that the American man who shot this old Vancouver footage went down with the Titanic on his return? trip from a filming expedition to Europe in 1912….what he shot on the 1912 streets of Paris, London, etc. lies at the bottom of the Atlantic….

    @adauto3000 actually Vancouver is relatively mild compared to other parts of Canada, its only below zero celsius 4? or 5 times a year. And in May (when this clip was taken) it would have been about 20 degrees. Still pretty cold compared to Brazil though :p

    I wonder if they had any collisions at first from people forgetting what sdide of the road to drive on? I remember reading that Canada used to drive on the left at one time as well, but switched over because of the US driving on? the right.

    This was filmed on May 7th, 1907. The filmaker perished? in the Titanic disaster 5 years later. Cars went over to the right hand side of the road in B.C. on New Year’s Day, 1923.

    Traffic rules were crazy. Trams always drive on the left side of the road.? However on certain streets carriages were going on the right side, and on the other on the left. Weird 🙂
