Have you been to Italy? I do this on every street because there is a serious chance of finding a bike, or electric scooter or even moped going the wrong way. 
I got a driver from the airport to my hotel in Rome. I decided that in Rome you’re allowed to break one law at a time while driving. So you could drive on the wrong side of the road but you still had to respect that red traffic light unless you got back onto the right side of traffic.
