Can someone please clarify how to cross Dual Highway from East to West. The arrows printed on the road indicate you turn on the left side of the other driver as opposed to the normal right side. This would allow other drivers to line up behind you and not obstruct the driver crossing from East to West. Does anyone experience confusion over this?

It's just another one of those really strange things that exist in this area. It would be easier (not to mention safer and more logical) if the turning drivers didn't have to cross one another's paths. However, my guess is that because there is also traffic entering from the cross street, it is designed as it is, so that those cars do not have to enter the incorrect lane if they need to cross the median. Frankly, it's a poor design and this is probably why you rarely see it. JMHO

Hun, FYI: Dual runs E to W.
But I get what you're saying. You mean the left turn crossovers. They just started that stupid way to cross them not that long ago. stupid idea to me. It's hard enough to get across that crazy place without having dummy's without any manners sit in front of ya!
ALERT! Dragon's in a
MOOD...watch it!

WVDL: I hate to correct you when you are in a MOOD, but from I-70 to the Center at Antietam, Dual HWY runs NNW and SSE, which is closer to N & S, even tho it's Route 40 E & W. It took me a while to figure that out when I first started visiting the area.
I don't see a problem tho where there is not a thru street, as at the Day/Hebb Road intersection, but at the Redwood, Crest View and Cornell intersections, which are T intersections, there are many left turners, not U-turners, so the markings are correct.

Just a little bit of trivia:
Odd numbered routes are generally accepted as running north/south while even numbered routes are generally accepted as running east/west.
