Intersections that are counterlogical to normal directions

I was wondering just how many places other than loop routes where you are traveling East, lets say, and you come to an intersection and the crossing route is North to the right of you, and SB is to the left of you or heading South and West is to your left.

In Watertown, NY, US 11 heading north junctions with EB NY 37 which forks off to the left.

In South Carolina now that SCDOT signs US 52 as E-W and no longer N-S, it has an awkward arrangement with US 521.  US 52 which does run true North and South here meets US 521, a N-S signed route, which is running E-W here.  So EB US 52 has SB US 521 to the left and NB US 521 to the right instead of what is normal.

GA 81 in Covington, GA is one that has Westbound GA 36 start from it at an at grade intersection to head to the east of it.  As GA 36 makes a turn to go south of Covington to eventually head west later on, GA 81 curves to the Southwest of Covington still heading generally to the south, but arcing away from GA 36's gradual arc in a bigger radius.


Any other occurrences where this happens excluding beltways or short loops?  That is why I failed to mention US 92 and FL 417 near Hunters Creek, FL as FL 417 is a half beltway around Orlando which does have SB 417 to the right of WB US 92 which is opposite of the compass, of course, but because 417 is mainly a giant loop created just to be a circle for urban traffic bypass so you can see its reason to do this.


Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Traveling east on US 60 in Frankfort, Ky., it's concurrent with US 421 south. At the NE2 at the intersection of the East-West Connector, US 421 south turns left off of US 60 east. Conversely, going west on US 60, northbound US 421 comes in from the right.

Anywhere in the Midwest where the highways are routed like this. I think there's others in Gothenburg, Thedford, and Lexington (all NE). There's probably more, too.

NE2

Anywhere a diagonal Interstate signed east-west crosses a parallel U.S. Route signed north-south (or vice versa) multiple times. Closest example is I-4 at US 17 (US 92/SR 50).

I-10 and CA 62. In CA 62s west end, going westbound you're actually facing south, so at the end at I-10 you use the left lane to go West and right lane to go East.

It doesn't have to be a US route (I-495/MA 110 also counts).

Many of the coastal loop routes along the CT coast from US 1 North, mostly because US 1 itself is generally  E-W in CT

On US 62 / OH 3 heading southwest into Washington Court House, OH 3 SOUTH forks right toward Cincinnati, while US 62 WEST forks left toward Hillsborough.

On US 20/23 westbound near Perrysburg, OH, US 23 NORTH turns left while US 20 WEST continues straight ahead.

Surely there are many examples involving I-94 between Milwaukee and south Chicago.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

The interchange with US-41 just south of the state line would count if it were full.
