But is the letter facing the direction, or are you looking in the direction if you’re looking at the letter? So, is East behind the camera or in front of it?

but that’s not intuitive. when a compass says that the bearing is east, you are facing east. here, the onlooker is actually facing west when looking at east.
if the street pole had a bunch of arrows sticking out towards the cardinal points, what you’re saying is obvious may truly have been obvious.
but in this arrangement, the question put forth is a fair one and does not deserve derision.

“like always”???
You’re saying it like it’s obvious, but it’s a fair question.

Show me an example of something like that being placed in the way described, then.
