Hi,
could someone please explain the following to help me understand how it works??
I have 2 routers connected via a serial p2p link and configured with /30 ip's at both ends. If I connect to 1 router and ping its own local WAN interface, the ping request actually traverses the wan link to the B end and returns instead of just going internally directly to the wan interface. If I ping an ip on the remote router, the avg response time is say 90ms however if I ping the local wan interface the avg response time is about double at 180ms. I switched debugging on on this interface and confirmed it to be correct.
Any feedback would be helpful??

Yes, this is a common behaviour for WAN interfaces.
Ping for local WAN interfaces goes through remote side.

is it only for WAN interfaces?? and is it for all types of WAN interfaces??

Every time a hop traverses a router in its path = response time also the ttl is decremented by 1 every time a hop traversed through a router
Ex rtra --> rtrb+rtrc+rtrd-->rtrd
rtra 2 hops ttl decremented by 2
