bear right

Curve toward starboard

Bear right is a directional instruction meaning to veer or turn slightly to the right while continuing forward.

Common in driving directions and trail navigation: Bear right at the fork.

The turn is gentler than a full right turn—you're adjusting course rather than making a sharp change in direction.
