If someone is walking you can use either one. If you are driving, I would just use turn right.

Most of the time they mean the same thing! TURN RIGHT is more specific. For example, “when you get to the church, turn right” makes more sense than “when you get to the church, go right.”

I would use GO RIGHT if the person has to turn right there. “Go right on this street, then turn right at the church.” The Street was immediate, but turning left was further away. Hope this helped!

Yes super Useful. @Shannon_Haley . The most importan questions right now for me is. If someone is walking, Can I say, Turn right or Go right? or Turn right is only when you are driving?
