I started thinking this as well, but I don't think we can really assume that it matters due to the rotational invariance of the roads. I was going to say that the longer left turns would force cars to push with the turn of the Earth more for North-facing roads turning to Westward ones, but every change of this form would be counteracted by the approximately equal change for South-East turns. Maybe it matters that turns closer to the equator will be applying more torque since they are further from the axis of rotation?
Physics riddle

I really like those candy balls from that guy
You're getting warmer. For most roads it wouldn't make any difference because the people going out one way will drive in the opposite direction when they go home. Is there anywhere where this isn't true?
Nope. This was set as an exam question in a general physics class I had at uni. The answer is not no.The point is to solve the problem, not deconstruct the question.
>for most roads
Then for what kind of roads would it make a difference?
This seems to make sense
Is it at all significant that many people drive home at night but leave during the day? It would mean nights change inversely to the change in day length, but the question only refers to the day. So, that could be a source of symmetry breaking.
That's what I'm asking OP to think about. If he's truly stuck I'll reveal the answer but these things are always more satisfying if you get them.
It's not really what they want but it's not a stupid suggestion. Think about it, how much data would you need to work out in which direction there was a bias, if any? The question was asked because it is answerable.
Quick question: Where are you from OP?
Yeah, I have ruled out many ideas because I know I am overthinking it. I am struggling to see the forest through the trees.
I'm trying to figure out any kind type of road where this applies, roundabouts are not an option, I have nothing else.
I'm from Hungary
