Research Indicates Humans Prefer to Walk Anticlockwise

A study from the University of Navarra and the University of Tokyo found that humans have a tendency to walk anticlockwise, a behavior observed in various settings. The research suggests that this left-turn bias may be influenced by biomechanics and sensory processing, although the exact reasons are still unknown. The findings could inform crowd management and space design practices.
