Or it may be just that film producers have conditioned us that way?

A few months ago I was talking with a film maker, and she mentioned that
showing a subject moving from left to right on the screen indicates
movement towards something, such as when a ship leaves a port and heads out
to sea it will be shown on the screen as moving L to R. Right to Left
means that the subject is returning home, or to a point of origin. Some
time after that, while watching a special feature on a DVD, the director of
the film made the same comment. I wonder if that may in any way be related
to why we see, and, perhaps, generally prefer, L to R movement, and
subjects looking L to R, in many photographs? Might there be something
within us that more readily accepts that idea, and that's why film makers
have been using the concept as well?

# 2 cause he's going R to L. Seems like most bike rider shots have the
rider going from L to R.
