Is there an 'accepted' side on which to fit a handrail to stairs? I'm
talking about a stairway with a wall both side, rather than one side open
with a bannister rail.

My logic is to fit it on the left, so the dominant hand (right with 90% of
people) is holding on when descending.

Any thoughts?

Central stairway, walls both sides...Mines on the left going down.
