Questions about the Being Map API

We are making <wayfinding device for the visually impaired>.
And we also use your API (Being Map) for our map system.
I have two questions about the API, if you could tell me what they are.

First: We need some information about an intersection, such as the number of forks, in order to guide users to stop in front of there. How do we get such information?

Secondly, I would like to give directions to follow a straight road that turns, but Bing maps shows directions to turn in the direction of a relay point (meaning a straight direction). (I mean in a straight direction.) In this case, how can I get the directions to follow the road?

    We do not have lane guidance, but you can look at the sample output at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/examples/driving-route-example to see the turn instructions for each waypoint.

    To see how we use this output in our control, see the printout window at https://www.bing.com/api/maps/sdkrelease/mapcontrol/isdk/directionscreatedrivingroute
