In Dublin at the crosswalks they have painted signs and arrows on the
pavement that say "Look Right ---->" They probably have had a number of
American's run when over stepping out on the road, after looking left.

London does this too, of course. I'm curious as to when this practice
began. Does anyone know?

I should imagine that there are far more Continentals than Americans
in Dublin, and they too are used to drive-on-right.

Boston is the only city where I've lived that one need to look both
