This article is a little off base. UPS is solving for "What is the best way to safely deliver packages to 300 addresses". There are a lot of ways to do cover that ground effectively without too much waste. The routes UPS drivers share little resemblance to the way normal people drive. I'm solving for "How do I get to work" or "How to get to the grocery store". I'm taking the highway 80% of the distance, then my work is on the left... do I take 3 right turns to get there circling a potentially large city block? The UPS driver might well have stops on those side streets, I don't. The idea behind this is sound, but it doesn't necessarily apply to the way individuals who aren't driving package routes should drive.
