A left turns take longer to make than right turn, 3 right turns make take as long or longer than 1 left turn for the individual vehicle, but 3 right turns do not slow the left lane for everyone else, so they save gas en toto. Right turns are also safer, less chance of a rear-ender and cutting off on coming traffic with dare-devil maneuvers. That is why UPS's routing software is written to avoid left turns as much as possible. |
