directions

I have always had a problem explaining directions, especially about roads.

1. When driving along a straight road (or motorway) do we say “go into/onto the road (or is it a junction?) which is on the left?

I’ve often heard a lot people in my country refer roads that diverge from the main road onto another area on either side to junction or intersection.


If we want to go to or leave a roundabout (gyratory), can we say

  1. I am driving onto a roundabout.

  2. You must take the third exit (many exits leading on to other roads at the roundabout) to McDougall road from the roundabout.

I always try to say something like "Stay on this street for another three blocks then turn right/left onto Maple Street. Continue on Maple for about one mile then right/left onto Walnut Street."
