Flow direction problem

I know from Fluid Mechanic course that flow direction should be from high pressure to low pressure.

In the attached image, the right area has lower pressure than the left area.

Why doesn't the flow direction in this image obey this rule?

Absolute pressure and meridional velocity vectors are time-averaged.

Flow direction is from left to right.
