OSM contains quite a lot of nameless roads. For navigational purposes, we should consider using additional information in the graph to improve turn announcements for these kind of situations.

One example would be

Currently the instruction for this turn says turn left only. Given that the turn is onto a dirt road from a larger road (in this case a primary), it could be easy to miss.

We could potentially improve the clarity of instructions if we use road types or other characteristics for announcing these turns.

An example would be turn left onto the dirt road.

Other examples could be parking lots (take a left onto the parking lot) or alleys (turn right into the alley).

It's not a pressing issue, but something we could consider.
