The person's sense of space is formed by synthesizing sensorimotor information, physical actions, and elements of the physical environment that enter their visual field. Direction seems to emphasize linear information. To separate a sense of direction from a sense of space, direction includes the senses formed while walking or using public transportation.
The secondary effects connected to transportation are rush hours, traffic jams, construction zones, school zones and detours. The predictable ones may be anticipated and avoided when possible. Discussions of hypothetical alternative directions and times are apt to be illogical.
