westbound
Toward the sunset
Westbound means traveling or heading toward the west: the westbound lanes of the highway, a westbound train.
The word typically describes vehicles, routes, or traffic moving in that cardinal direction.
Like eastbound, northbound, and southbound, it functions as both adjective and adverb: We were westbound on Interstate 80.
