Question

Why did you move in the opposite direction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Moving away means simply going away from a place-- it may be in any direction. Moving in the opposite direction means, you know, going away in only the opposite direction. But the opposite direction for a park seems odd. You can say two vehicles are moving in opposite directions -- one to the left of X and the other to the right of X.
