oudanhodou wo watattara, sugu hidari ni basu no noriba ga arimasu.

A natural reading is:

おうだんほどう を わたったら、すぐ ひだり に バス の のりば が あります。

Word readings:

• 横断歩道 = おうだんほどう = crosswalk
• 渡ったら = わたったら
• 左 = ひだり
• 乗り場 = のりば

横断歩道 means crosswalk or pedestrian crossing.

It is made of:

• 横断 = crossing
• 歩道 = walkway / pedestrian path

In everyday directions, 横断歩道 specifically refers to the marked place where people cross the street.

The particle を marks the thing that the action is done to or through.

Here, the verb is 渡る (わたる) = to cross, so:

• 横断歩道を渡る = to cross the crosswalk

Even though in English we say cross the street or cross the crosswalk, Japanese still uses を to mark what is being crossed.

渡ったら comes from the verb 渡る (わたる) = to cross.

Breakdown:

• dictionary form: 渡る
• past form: 渡った = crossed
• 渡ったら = when/after you cross or if you cross

In this sentence, たら is not really a hypothetical if. It is more like:

• after crossing the crosswalk
• once you cross the crosswalk

So the sentence is giving directions in sequence.

In this sentence, it is best understood as when or after.

たら can mean different things depending on context:

• if
• when
• after doing

In directions like this, it usually means once you do that, then...

So:

• 横断歩道を渡ったら、すぐ左に…
• After you cross the crosswalk, immediately on the left...

The comma helps separate the first action from what comes next.

So the sentence is structured like:

1. 横断歩道を渡ったら = after crossing the crosswalk
2. すぐ左にバスの乗り場があります = there is a bus stop immediately on the left

It makes the directions easier to follow. In Japanese, commas are often used for clarity, even when they are not strictly required.

すぐ左に means immediately on the left or right away, to the left.

Breakdown:

• すぐ = immediately / right away
• 左 = left
• に = indicates location here

So it means the bus boarding area is not far away; as soon as you cross, it is on your left.

Here, に marks the location where something exists.

The important part is:

• 左に バスの乗り場が あります
• There is a bus boarding area on the left

With あります, the location is often marked by に:

• 駅の前にコンビニがあります。
• There is a convenience store in front of the station.

So 左に means on the left / to the left as a location.

バスの乗り場 means the bus boarding area, bus stop, or bus stand, depending on context.

Breakdown:

• バス = bus
• 乗り場 = place for getting on

The particle の connects the two nouns:

• バスの乗り場 = the boarding place for buses

So の is showing the relationship:

• a boarding place
• specifically, one for buses

Not exactly, though they are related.

• 乗り場 = boarding area / place where you get on
• バス停 = bus stop

In many situations, they can refer to almost the same real-world place. But:

• バス停 focuses on the stop itself
• 乗り場 focuses on the place where passengers board

At stations or terminals, 乗り場 is especially common because there may be multiple numbered boarding areas.

が marks the thing that exists.

So:

• バスの乗り場が あります
• There is a bus boarding area

This is a very common pattern:

• [place] に [thing] が あります
• There is [thing] at/in [place]

In this sentence:

• 左に = on the left
• バスの乗り場が = a bus boarding area
• あります = exists / there is

あります is used to say that something exists in a place.

Pattern:

• [location] に [thing] が あります
• There is [thing] in/at [location]

So:

• すぐ左にバスの乗り場があります
• There is a bus boarding area immediately on the left.

If you used です, it would sound like identifying or describing something, not saying that it is located there.

No. The subject is omitted, which is very normal in Japanese.

The sentence does not explicitly say you. But from the context of giving directions, it is naturally understood as:

• After you cross the crosswalk...

Japanese often leaves out subjects when they are obvious from context.

Yes, very much. It sounds natural as spoken or written directions.

It has a typical directions structure:

1. do action A
2. then you will find B in location C

So it works well in contexts like:

• giving directions near a station
• helping someone find a bus stop
• guiding a tourist

In this sentence, すぐ is most naturally understood with the location/result that follows:

• immediately on the left
• right after crossing, on the left

Because of the full phrase すぐ左に, native speakers hear it as a set expression meaning immediately to the left.

So the natural interpretation is:

• After crossing the crosswalk, the bus stop is immediately on your left.

The sentence follows this pattern:

[Action] たら、[location] に [thing] が あります。

In this case:

• 横断歩道を渡ったら = after crossing the crosswalk
• すぐ左に = immediately on the left
• バスの乗り場が = a bus boarding area
• あります = there is

So the full structure is:

• After doing X, there is Y at Z.

This is a very useful pattern for giving directions in Japanese.
