turn right

Not going left

Turn right is an instruction to change direction by rotating approximately 90 degrees clockwise (when facing forward).

It's the standard navigational command from GPS devices, driving instructors, and anyone giving directions: Turn right at the next intersection.

The phrase can be literal movement or figurative: The conversation turned right into politics.
