OK, so, the "penalty" is only when there is a detour. There was no detour in this case.CBenson wrote:Any word on the status of this penalty. If they aren't going to remove/change it, then we should implement their advice not use ramp type for jughandles.sketch wrote:Or we need to get them to remove that penalty.
The route took a straight-then-U-then-right instead of the jughandle because the former was faster at that time. Oddly, when I test in the live map, the jughandle is always the alternate route, no matter which time I select (random sample, I didn't check every single one). When I test using the WME route checker, it usually does the straight-U-right route, but a couple times of day did give me the jughandle. It does seem that the jughandle takes significantly longer.
My guess is that, since the jughandle is not a conventional left turn, the small detour prevention tool doesn't prefer it over the straight-U-right. Since the straight-U-right is faster in fact, it is used.
