Is there a joke/cultural reference that I'm missing?
The joke is that since guy is usually the one protecting, he is walking next to route so if anything happens, it is to him. Because they are both girls there really shouldn't be any reason for 1 walking over the other, but transgirl swapped placed, probably because she still felt like from 2 of them, she should be doing it. Other girl is like "why did you do it?" and she is probably like "it's nothing, don't think about it", but because she doesn't want her protecting her like that, when next car passes by she swapped places instead. And rinse and repeat (there is arrow back to panel 1, so they just keep on swapping places like that). Basically since they are both girls, neither has obligation to be protecting other, so whenever 1 swapped, other swap back. It's very simple, but kinda hard to explain...
Also it isn't just japan thing I think. Here guy is always supposed to walk next to traffic/danger as well.
