I noticed in the exercise "droite" was used for direction to the right, but "tout droit" is masculine for "straight ahead. Why the difference?
Gender of droit in directions

Hi Margaret,
Students always find this odd but they are two different words -
à (votre) droite = on the/your right
tout droit = straight on
la droite = noun, feminine
droit/e = adjective
I hope this helps!

I'm pretty sure la droite is agreeing with "la direction".
tourner à la direction droite
