Mongolia has 810,000 registered vehicles nationwide; 600 thousand of which are on the roads. Of these, 54.5 percent are right-hand drive.

According to a survey conducted by the Traffic Police Department, most road accidents happen at night time and involve right-hand drive vehicles. Analysis indicates that the light on right-hand drive vehicles shines in an opposite direction to the drivers’ eyes.
