Romania drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Romania is home to Transylvania and the legend of Count Dracula, based on the real 15th-century ruler Vlad the Impaler. Romanian-born Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast in Olympic history to score a perfect 10.0 in 1976.
