I recently read on GroovyGreen.com that Brown (better known as UPS) is eliminating left hand turns. This saves time and money by shortening routes and reducing time spent in traffic. Shorter routes and less time in traffic are due to right hand turns being more expeditious. This saves UPS money in the form of gas. Which in turn leads to less gas getting burnt, which ultimately reduces CO2 emissions. Hooray for UPS!
This news makes me feel better about shipping with UPS even if they don't offer that "renewable magic dragon" shipping option we keep hoping for.

Yeah, they've had this policy for a long time. They're only now getting the technology to be able to optimize routes more than they already were. The left turn thing isn't new, though. -- Roy on April 24, 2008 |
