I reside in a nation where driving is done on the right side of the street. I’ve noticed that, for the most part (unless distracted by their phones, are intentionally flexing, or just being inconsiderate), most folks from a similar background, also seem to tend to walk on the right side of two-way paths, sidewalks, etc, and tend to “dodge” or veer right when encountering oncoming fellow pedestrians.
Is the reverse the trend for pedestrians in regions where folks drive on the left side of streets (UK, Japan, India, Australia, etc)?
No such rules in the UK. It’s everyone for themselves on whichever side they feel like.
even on escalators?
I think there’s people on the London Underground who will grumble and tut if you stand on the wrong side, but I can’t remember as I haven’t been there in years.

I have the opposite experience, went to London a while ago and kept noticing most people keep left instead of right like I’m used to.
That’s London. They have their own rules.
