Yes.  If you ride the same direction the Google car went, you'll be moving with traffic.  If you ride the opposite way, traffic will seem to backup from you.  Our suggested rides can contain Google cars paths from different days, so the whole path doesn't necessarily match traffic.

When you begin a ride, the system sets the start point and end point based on your choice of "forward" or "reverse".  The mileage left and percentage complete in the HUD are relative to the end point, so when you chose to "Reverse Direction" mid-ride they started going backwards.

Try restarting your ride with "Ride Reverse" to see behavior you expect!

I find that the direction of travel can change during a ride, so that one moment the ride is following the google car direction and then suddenly find that the ride is on the wrong side of the road with traffic backing  away as I progress. The transition from one mode to the other usually occurs on roundabouts or other junctions and there seems to be no way to switch modes ( I am using automatic steering on an occulus go). The problem seems to occur in both created and suggested rides, and is most common when there is traffic about. Is there any way to force a direction switch?

We use the latest Streetview image at the point of road you are on, which can change if Google decided to update a section based on a different google car.  That will most typically happen at intersections where a different google car may have turned onto your road.

Unfortunately we can't switch the direction to follow traffic without turning you around, so you'd never get to your destination.  You'll get best results along country roads without much traffic, or using City Mode which covers up traffic with virtual road overlays.
