Traffic Territory - woven-planet/opensafety-mbse GitHub Wiki
This is a contiguous area within a Country that defines a set of uniform traffic policies. Chief among these is the left or right handedness of the traffic flow.
You might assume that the side that you drive on is determined by Country, but this is not always the case. Gibraltar, for example, is a British overseas territory were they drive on the right side of the road!
Note: We could tweak the meaning of Country to include Gibraltar as a distinct instance. But can we apply that trick everywhere in the world? Rather than worry about that, it is easier to just abstract Country and Traffic Territory separately with the common case being that they are one and the same.
