But actually this triggers an interesting thought on the potential of more detailed analysis (the theme of the post), since this is obviously an average and will vary significantly by location and time of day - in a case where there is very little traffic, obviously it would be less efficient to do three right turns versus a left.Peter Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803273537153805225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470995059384390571.post-30516152179779712652008-09-29T11:46:00.000-06:002008-09-29T11:46:00.000-06:00your question about the time associated with waiti...your question about the time associated with waiting to turn left, vs. making a turn right has already been computed... UPS and its operational engineers have measured the difference, and it is now SOP to do 3 right turns instead of wait for a left...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
