2. Take road name : you can also take the road name/number

What if you don't know the correct directions ?
There are times you may not know how to give people directions because you are new in the city/area, or you haven't heard of the place that he wants to reach. Don't be rude by shrugging your shoulders and walking away.
You could always say :
