Tip In many instances, driving directions are for the shortest route, which may not be the quickest or most convenient. If I followed the driving directions in Figure 30, for example, I'd hit at least 50 traffic lights; I know a slightly longer but quicker route with only four traffic lights. Which do you think I'd take?
