right turn

Not going left

A right turn is a turn that moves you to the right, typically at an intersection or corner.

In countries where vehicles drive on the right side of the road, a right turn crosses no oncoming traffic and can often be made on a red light after stopping.

Take a right turn at the next light.

Figuratively, a sharp right turn describes an abrupt change in direction or policy, usually toward conservatism.
