Hello,
It appears to me, that the main problem with --lefthand networks are the
broken node shapes.
1) The algorithm which computes these shapes is rather involved but limited
to a single class (netbuild/NBNodeShapeComputer).
I have heard that some other people already solved this problem for sumo
but I have not seen their solution so I cannot tell you how hard it would
be. However, what you can do is manually specify the 'shape' attributes for
all nodes you care about to avoid the automatic computation. I suppose this
is only practical for a small scenario. (note, that you can load custom xml
files with selected attributes along with an osm file in netconvert).

2)
www.*matsim*.org/  (free, but the visualization is coarser to begin with)
PTV VISSIM (not free but very feature complete)
I actually don't know which other simulators deal with left-hand driving
but I suppose you'll find them via google.
regards,
Jakob
