Turn left onto ...
The preposition "onto" implies movement in a direction
"Keep left/right onto" wouldn't work in English because there is no change in direction. It would be "keep left on ..."
"Bear left/right onto" would be OK.
"Turn left onto" is correct because the car is being driven onto another street.
"Keep left/right onto" wouldn't work in English because there is no change in direction. It would be "keep left on ..."
