What is the orientation of the V18 general path?

The main point is how Victor airways are organized by direction. Even-numbered Victor airways are designed to run roughly east-west, while odd-numbered ones go roughly north-south. So V18, being an even-numbered airway, has a general east-west orientation. The path is defined by connecting VORs with radials, so it can curve to link facilities, but the overall direction remains east-west. The other orientations would apply to airways with different numbers or routes and aren’t the general path for this one.
