Left or right?

What I do today, or the next few days might have a huge difference in my future. We as a family are at a cross roads and I am in a situation that no man should be. Ahead of me as in the photo is a fork in the road. Which way to take is the question I am pondering? Today's photo is taken towards the war memorial near the Johannesburg Zoo. I went past here on my way from Sun International to Metrorail. I went this way because there was a police road block on Jan Smuts and I didn't want the inconvenience of sitting in the traffic jam that the road block causes.
