Not sure who decided 'derecho' was 'straight ahead' and '(a la) derecha' was '(to the) right,' but thankfully '(a la) izquierda' ('[to the] left') won't be mistaken for either one.

The English term 'directions' (how to get somewhere) is expressed in Spanish as 'cómo llegar' ('how to arrive').

At the airport, train station, or bus depot, 'salidas' are 'departures' and 'llegadas' are 'arrivals.'
