Actually, I believe the opposite is true - the second space on a road is farther on the road, according to the rules. We read that as "farther along the journey", not "farther from the destination". If you read it as the second space is "behind" the first space, then players who take the first spot of a double space essentially lose a turn to the player that takes the second space, since they arrive last and depart first.
Hmm my rules say different, on page 3 the second "Way of Travel" image caption says, "The Purple traveler is farther behind than the Green traveler, therefore he starts". The purple player is on the second spot. Green is on the 'road' spot.
I hadn't noticed this bit in the book, before asking, darn eye operation :arrrh:
Oh, then we played it correctly! Nice.
