右折

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: The written form is 右折, read うせつ. Elements for right and turning combine to denote changing direction by turning right.
• Basic usage: 交差点を右折する describes a route turning at an intersection, while この先で右折する describes the action directed by a sign farther ahead.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Direction changed at an intersection
  • The route instruction links a right turn at the next intersection to seeing the station. Example: 次の交差点を右折すると駅が見えます。 — Turn right at the next intersection, and you will see the station.
• An action directed by a sign
  • The sign directs the traveler to turn farther ahead rather than immediately. Example: 案内板にはこの先で右折するよう書かれています。 — The sign says to turn right ahead.
