Most roads will camber to the left by design, so road water will run to the curbs
Without appearing to be thick, is that actually true?

Yes.

almost.
you have elevation and super elevation.

Some roads camber left from the middle or crown, some roads fall from one side to the other.
Depends on the drainage.

Generally though that is correct.

Mine is fully polybushed and I find it follows road camber all the time. Again had 4 wheel tracking etc the chap who set the geometry up allowed for the usual 1 degree camber to the left on roads. I'm happy with what he's done and think that I only notice it because of how stuff the car now is.
