Been around for decades. They either have 'Outside' written on the sidewall or arrows indicating the direction of rotation. Quality tire installers pay attention to the mounting of tires, like directional, and also the yellow dot should line up with the valve stem on the wheel.

You don't know how many times installers just do not get it! I have seen countless tires mounted wrong including TW, NTB, and VIP.

It's up to the buyer to be aware of this. The budget tires do not have these features.
