It is coming from a recent traffic ticket written by a police officer:
Under the DESCRIPTION/NARRATIVE box, the officer wrote "DRIVING WRONG DIRECTION ON ONE-WAY STREET"
Under the PLACE OF OCCURRENCE box, the officer wrote "E/B AVERY AVENUE / FROM S/B 131 STREET"
Should last sentence in the 2nd box be translated only as "traveling from south bound on 131 street"?

It seems reasonable to assume that E/B means eastbound and S/B means southbound. But if you want to know for certain, or get a broader interpretation of what was described, you'd have to ask the officer or somebody who works at the police station. My personal interpretation is that it means the car was travelling eastbound in a westbound-only lane, after having travelled south on 131 St. and turning left onto Avery Ave.

Thank you Jason. Is it possible for the second sentence, the language can be interpreted as "was travelling northbound in a southbound-only lane on 131 St."?

@Joe The interpretation of strangers on the internet is irrelevant legally and will hold no water if you want to dispute this ticket.

I would agree with Jason: From southbound 131 St., [person traveled] eastbound on Avery Ave. It doesn't seem to be making a statement about what was happening on 131, only giving an indication of where the event took place.

@Joe, if you are talking about some place in Queens, I don't see anything contradictory about the ticket based on this. Southbound does not necessarily imply travel direction of the person, only of the road. google.com/maps/place/131st+St+%26+Avery+Ave,+Queens,+NY+11355/…
