  We theoretically investigate electrical transport in a quantum Hall system
hosting bulk and edge current carrying states. Spatially varying magnetic and
electric confinement creates pairs of current carrying lines that drift in the
same or opposite directions depending on whether confinement is applied by a
magnetic split gate or a magnetic strip gate. We study the electronic structure
through calculations of the local density of states and conductivity of the
channel as a function of the chirality and wave-function overlap of these
states. We demonstrate a shift of the conductivity peaks to high or low
magnetic field depending on chirality of pairs of edge states and the effect of
chirality on backscattering amplitude associated with collisional processes.
