It’s nasty, and more than an annoyance it really endangers drivers and residents. I had a job a few years back with a lot of driving and Google maps would route me through a random residential street with houses to switch between two main roads that run parallel. I could tell that was happening to other drivers too both commuters and work vehicles. It was really unacceptable the algorithm would route this way because the dead obvious direction should’ve been ‘left turn on to this road when you get off the freeway, right turn onto the road you want’.
