UPS avoids left hand turns - should you?

It’s a rare sight to see a UPS truck in the left turn lane...

For years UPS has calculated their routes to include as few left turns as possible in an effort to conserve time and fuel. So should we be doing it too? Yes, according to a recent study from Hummer. Their results found that the average driver could save significant time and money with the no-left-turn rule - and that even three right turns could be more efficient than one long left. Overall, avoiding left turns at busy intersections can reduce travel time and fuel consumption by 20% for professional and casual drivers alike.
