Route Solver directions: stairs and turns

Question

I noticed that steps in my pedestrian Route network analysis layer that require turning then navigating stairs only mention the stairs and not the turn.

See example in my image below. After the selected step Turn right, the next step is to take the stairs, however first the user needs to turn left (at the red star markup). The next step correctly instructs the user to turn right.

Is this behavior expected?

In general that is the expected behavior, the directions to take stair don't include "turn" guidance.

To get a turn maneuver before the stairs you could probably add a small "path" feature, like in the yellow below.  So this would produce a something like

Turn right

Turn left

Take the stairs
