    Ive been preparing for the N4/N5, and I came across a question, it said the correct particle was “wo” instead of “ni” for the sentence この道をまっすぐ行ってください。the back specifically says to not use ni, I can’t figure out why as it is directional and even uses the verb to go, anyone have any ideas or can assist? thanks!

    When it comes to movement verbs like 行く, に marks the destination, while を marks the route.

    公園に行く = go to the park
    公園を行く = go through the park

    この道をまっすぐ行ってください = Please go straight along this street

    Saying “go to this street” would be a little bit odd – if nothing else, because it’s this street, so you wouldn’t go away to get here. =P
