I will never understand how Amazon builds their routes around highways.

Like, when your route is several neighborhoods and apartment complexes on a highway. Instead of doing the logical thing and routing it one side of the highway, turn around, other side of the highway, they try to have you criss-crossing back and forth, back and forth. Or they'll make it a left turn onto the highway, and then a left turn into the complex...

Obviously, I don't do it that way. But the fact that is Amazon's default is fucking insane to me.

UPS limits left turns to reduce idling times and the risk of collisions. Amazon will straight up route a left turn across four lanes of highway traffic... how does the routing algorithm even allow that? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

What's hilarious is that Amazon will have you make a left turn across four lanes of highway traffic in the city, but when you're on a back road in the country, no cars, no traffic, it will tell you to make a u-turn in the middle of the road so that a single house is now on the right side of the road 🤣🤣🤣

What the fuck, Amazon??
