If the Greeks would have been defeated by the Persians at the Battle of Salamis in 480BC, some historians have argued that the Western world would not exist like we know it today. What other events have changed/preserved the Western world that we may not know of?

Some countries drive on the left side of the road, some on the right. What influenced traffic to be flowing in a certain way? Was there such an organised flow of traffic in ancient civilisations? I know Romans had roads, but did they stick to a certain side when going in a certain direction?
