1. That's seven fifty-two, out of 10= seven fifty-two - the change/rest out of 10?
2. get into the left-hand turn lane - please explain 'turn lane'?
3. At the light for Mason Street -please explain?

thanks

These are very American' directions so I could be wrong, but to me:
1. Take road 752 from road/route 10 (so you are travelling along 10 and you turn into 752.
2. not 'turn lane', but 'left-hand turn / lane' - the lane you have to be in so that you can take the left turn.
3. Presumably there is a set of filter traffic lights. To turn into Mason Street you have to wait in the correct lane and follow signals given by those traffic lights.

But in point 1, we are hearing about the change in a store so maybe these numbers mean money, don't you think?
thanks again

Oh sorry, I didn't look at the context and assumed the three points were linked to routes.

The person is saying, 'I have to take 7 dollars 52 cents out of this 10 dollar bill.'

The change would be 2 dollars 48 cents, but the actual amount isn't mentioned in the transcript.
