Exit on interstate: Left or Right?

This is good one. Let's say you are on interstate and you don't know which side your exit is going to come for your town/city. Don't assume that it's going to be on right. Yeah most of the times that's true. Some times it does come on your left. So if you stay on right you are pretty much screwed.

So how do you figure it out? Solution is to look at the boards that show how far away your exit is going to be. For example, let's say your exit is going to come in another mile. The board shows the exit number in a small square on top of big square. Right? The big square shows the town/city name and how much distance is left for you to reach exit from there. Ok. So it has exit number, destination name and the distance left to exit. But it doesn't say anything about which side exit is going to come. Actually, it does. Just not explicitly.

Here is the clue. If the small square that has exit number on it stays on right side on top of the big square then your exitis going to be on your right. If it is on left side thenit comes on left. Simple, neat and effective. Right?

Hi Sreedhar,
How are you? I just remember you so opened your blog and started reading it, you write blogs are very interesting but its also screwing me up today as I stopped working and reading your blog.

Coming the to the signs I just noticed a day ago that atleast in NJ they say on the sign board if the exist is coming on the left. I will definetly try to observe the signs more now to see if its true in all the states.
