But how many transients do not (1) check the charting (2) look it up in the
AFD or (3) pay attention to what everyone else is doing.

How is right or left traffic depicted on a Sectional Chart?

Look carefully at an uncontrolled airport with right traffic on a
sectional. You'll see something like "RP 16", meaning "Right Pattern on
runway 16". Any runways not mentioned have left traffic.

This is a new thing. The FAA just introduced it about, oh, 3 or 4 years
ago?
