Comment on How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?

  There are obviously exceptions, hence why I said often instead of always. Think larger scale and/or involving fixed objects and cardinal directions tend to be logical, for example:

  • Install the equipment in the western plant room.

  • Please set up the workstation near the power point on the western wall of the room.

  • Come in via Foo Rd, when you get to the intersection with Bar Rd turn west.

  • My desk is in the south western corner of the office.

  • Walk west along the ridge from the carpark, then once you reach the giant boulder take the northern spur down to the river.
