UPS have designed their vehicle routing software to eliminate as many left-hand turns as possible (in countries with right-hand traffic). Typically, only 10% of the turns are left turns. As a result, the company claims it uses 10m gallons less fuel, emits 20,000 tonnes less carbon dioxide and delivers 350,000 more packages every year. The efficiency of planning routes with its navigation software this way has even helped the firm cut the number of trucks it uses by 1,100, bringing down the company’s total distance travelled by 28.5m miles – despite the longer routes.

So right turns put drivers out of work is what you're saying.

very old news. my buddy who has worked for them for over a decade said this was common practice way back then. probably a lot longer too.

i would imagine these days it's a combination of real time traffic data and normal route planning.

In related news, Cracker Barrel tries to locate their restaurants in places that you can get to making only right turns off the interstate in order to increase business.

Cracker Barrel known to many RVers as a frenly place to park and sleep for one night.
WalMart's legendary founder, Sam, also an RV enthusiast, directed all stores to welcome these fine Americans, the RVers.

There is literally no way to get to my house without taking at least 1 right turn. Discovering that you can save millions by eliminating as many right turns as possible is a great use of money.

wow, so i'm outed as never playing 1 player contra? does that make me more or less sad?

also it's kind of a personal affront that good ol lipid is the go-to "video game guy" here. i mean... seriously, you know, that used to mean something. now it's just some kind of a badge of honor you really want people to see on your xbox live profile.
