I would say "Go to the end of this road"... It works both ways.

Top of the road if the road has an uphill gradient and bottom of the road if it is downhill. Can also depend on which way the car is facing say if the road is level.

I think it is more in origin from the fact that we number houses from the middle of a town outwards, rather then any gradient.
Thus the "top" is where house No 1 is and house No 100 is nearer the bottom of the road.

Usually (but not always) the 'top' of the road is the lowest number i.e. 1, and the 'bottom' is the highest number.
Or, the 'top' of the road is nearest to the village/town/city centre and the 'bottom' is the furthest away.

let them decided. i always said go to the bottom then left or right. i suppose it's because i live at the top of a hill so it just becomes a habit.
