Smile right-hand road

Hello
I'd like to ask about telling the location. Would you take a look at the following sentence?
#1 Take the right-hand road.

Can I say "right" instead of "right-hand"?
#2 Take the right road.

If so, does #2 mean the same as #1?

Thank you.

Default Re: right-hand road

I wouldn't use your version. You could say 'take the road on the right'
