Transportation

The Henry E. Rohlsen International Airport serves St. Croix and the Cyril E. King International Airport serves St. Thomas and St. John. The U.S. Virgin Islands are the only area of the United States which drives on the left. This was inherited from what was then-current Danish practice at the time of annexation, to limit losses of livestock. There are problems with this, though, as most cars on the road are left hand drive, and therefore the driver sits to the outside of the road. This is because nearly all automobiles are imported from the mainland United States.
