The answers are not all the same in terms of direction. Grammatically speaking, they are all right, but 1,2 and 3 are pretty useless in terms of providing precise directions.

All sound good except maybe for #s 5 and 7. The phrase "pass the intersection" is vague -- unclear what to do at that intersection. In #7, you might say, "Just go straight. You'll reach an intersection; keep going straight ... "

And don't forget to correct the spelling at the very beginning -- "standing."
