    An article just came out on cnn.com describing how UPS trucks almost never make left turns in order to improve gas efficiency, reduce accidents, and speed up driving times. Perhaps Waze might consider altering its algorithms?

    From the article:

    "UPS trucks almost never take left-hand turns.

    By favoring right-hand turns at all times -- unless a left is unavoidable -- the carrier saves millions of gallons of fuel each year, and avoids emissions equivalent to over 20,000 passenger cars.
    The practice started decades ago, before computers and GPS, and is now managed by a software that conjures the most efficient route for each truck."

    Thanks for your consideration.
