In Southern California, traffic conditions change by the minute so, what Waze tells me will be the FASTEST (at a distance of 3.5 miles longer) inevitably turns out to take longer, due to building traffic congestion. I prefer to take the 405 S at a distance of 15.9 miles, but Waze always tells me that I can save 5 minutes by traveling about 19 miles on the 91 E. It never fails: the 91 E ends up taking about 15 minutes LONGER than originally estimated...all because of typical traffic build up. Seriously...you can set your watch by it. Here's a thought: Instead of shortest route, how about preferred route for locations that I use every day?
