Americans are taught at a early age that cars have the steering wheel on the left side of the vehicle and the vehicles are driven on the right side of the road, unlike England where the opposite is true. Now we have traffic engineers telling us that we should drive on the "wrong" side of the road in some instances, namely, when using the diverging diamond freeway overpass.
Welcome to more confusion and congestion coming to Georgetown. This is the same design that has been implemented at RM 1431 in Round Rock. These are a "lot of fun" to traverse at night and it is likely even worse on a rainy night.

It is unclear how this radical design will help the traffic congestion at Williams Drive and Austin Avenue. It fact it would seem to exacerbate the problem by reducing the distance between the switch back from left side of the road to the right side and Austin Avenue.
Keep your "cool" or avoid this area in the future.
