Generally when a character or vehicle is moving from screen left to right they are moving toward an unknown. And when a character is moving screen right to left they are headed toward a known or headed home.Of course there are exceptions to this. For example in "2001" the moon bus is shown moving in both directions since it is moving from a known to a known.
