Odd numbers run Noth to south and begin in the West. Thus 25 is West of 35. Even numbers run East to West and begin in the South. Thus 40 is South of 80.

Is there a law that requires all exits to exit to the right off interstates?

No, not at all. There are plenty of left hand exits off of Interstate highways.One notable example: on Interstate 35 North in Iowa just north of Des Moines, in order to remain on I-35 you must exit the road you're on to the left. I-35 and I-80, which had briefly joined on the west side of Des Moines, split at this point with I-80 continuing east and I-35 turning to head north again.Added: Interstate 75-South in Florida where the Florida Turnpike veers off, etc, etc, etc.
