I was talking to a friend today who used to work at UPS. He told me the drivers have routes mapped out that exclude all left turns because you have to wait behind a light for them, whereas you can just go on a right turn. It saves UPS time, and money in fuel!
Thats damn clever!

"We took a soccer mom and shaved over an hour off her chores, and shaved 24 miles off her haphazard driving. Basically we had her go in a loop." The idea is to plan ahead so that all the stops are approached from the right. "I promise you, it will save miles for anybody."
