I read the W in the street name as West since that is how the name would be read out loud, but I didn't change it in the text because it is correct as written.

I'm a native English speaker. Here is some feedback on the script.

Instead of saying:

"Go straight on to 5th Avenue."

I would either say:

"Go straight on 5th Avenue." (If you intend to stay on 5th Avenue.)

Or:

"Go straight to 5th Avenue." (If you are somewhere other than 5th Avenue and you want to go TO 5th Avenue.)

Instead of saying:

"stop on the corner"

I would normally say:

"stop at the corner"

Also, as a native English speaker, I would have completely understood everything! So, the above suggestion are very small improvements.
