Here's something to whet your appetite:

Thailand is said to be the Texas of Asia. It's the second-largest pickup truck market in the world and their freeways have frontage roads. Concrete roads are also common (which is not a standard construction method in most of Asia, asphalt is usually preferred).

But Thailand drives on the left side of the road. That's
not very Texas-like! ;-)
Went to look at Thailand's GSV and found that Singapore has GSV as well. A few notes regarding Singapore from what I can see:
1. They use km-posts (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=1.30405,103.919745&spn=0.001402,0.002642&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=1.304027,103.919151&panoid=AkEfgxiaQZDF13xQYbqOFw&cbp=12,28.46,,0,5.42) along the expressways and 1/2 km posts (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=1.305307,103.925729&spn=0.00561,0.010568&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=1.305228,103.923414&panoid=LsqDVjH6E_tEsJA1ADcQPA&cbp=12,35.42,,0,5.2) as well.
2. The exits are distance-based (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=1.305972,103.925986&spn=0.00561,0.010568&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=1.305999,103.926051&panoid=udIOKFI19WeDy6oCC-BUNw&cbp=12,46.12,,0,4.29) and go from south to north and from east to west.
3. The expressways seem to have names and no numbers.
4. The signage appears to be a mix of European and North American types.
5. Interestingly, the text is all in English.

Unless you count people from out of state who take a frontage road exit, not realizing the frontage road is two-way traffic.
(Yes, I realize it's unTexan to call it a frontage road.)
