"On" in my sentence

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

Is it wrong to use "on" in my sentence?
"Go straight on until you see the traffic lights, then turn on the right."

"Go straight on until you see the traffic lights, then turn on the right."

With my correction, it may be okay in British English. We wouldn't use the preposition in the States.

We wouldn't in BrE.

Anything's better than the directions I used to get in Rhode Island, e.g.:

- Go left at the rotary.
- Go halfway to the end of Lonsdale Boulevard and make a right.
- Turn left where the liquor store used to be.

We wouldn't use the preposition in the States.

We'd use "on" if "go straight" were replaced with "continue":

Continue on until you see the traffic lights; then . . . .

GS was talking about the second 'on'.

GS was talking about the second 'on'.

Ah, yes. I am talking about the first. I'd replace "Go straight on," which I personally find very unidiomatic, with "Go straight" or "Continue on."

[Piscean]

'Go straight on' is far more natural than 'Go straight' for this speaker of BrE.

No, I'd struck that out. I was talking about the first one. We Americans don't use the expression "straight on" as it's used in the sample sentence.

In BrE would you use the second "on" before "the right"? Is it "Turn on the right" or "Turn right"?
