Let me give you directions to my house. I think it's very easy to find, but people always seem to get lost. From your house, get on the main road. Travel that road for 2.5 miles. When you reach the bridge, get on the bridge and stay in the left lane¹. You cannot make a lane change once you enter the bridge. Exit² the bridge and make a left turn at the first signal³. When you see a red house made of brick⁴, make a right turn. Travel this road for 3.5 miles. You will pass a golf⁵ course on the right side. At the fourth signal light, make a left turn. You will notice an old church on the corner. Pass the church and my house will be the second house on the right. It is a small, brown house with white trim⁶. My blue car will be parked in the driveway. It should take you 15 minutes to get here. If there is traffic, it will probably take longer. Since it is Sunday, I don't think there will be much traffic.
