Navigation voice instruction - help needed

Hi,

I am working on voice guidance for a GPS navigation system, and a Spanish-speaking customer asked for the following change:

current behavior:

Voice Guidance announces "Tome la segunda a la derecha" ("Take the second to the right.")

expected behavior:

Voice Guidance should announce "Tome la segunda derecha" ("Take the second right")

However, I think that our current solution "Tome la segunda a la derecha" is the correct one.
Can you please confirm or deny?

Many thanks!

"Tome la segunda (calle) a la derecha" would be my choice.
"Tome la segunda derecha" sounds like if instead of "calles" there were "derechas".
