Side note: I always find it curious how these computer and phone mapping sites always seem to route you to a toll road, no matter what. I’m sure there’s some monkey business going on there. If you’re driving and the phone tells you to make that turn, you do it. Then you’re stuck paying or trying to back up however long the ramp is (and some are pretty long). I imagine that has to be worth some sweet sweet kickback.
Most of the mapping tools default to “fastest route”, whether or not there are toll roads involved. You have to go into the settings and tell it not to use tolls. On a long trip a couple of years ago, I forgot to do this on my in-car mapping tool, and it routed me onto every segment of tolled commuter lane while driving through Maryland. After the first one, I realized what it was doing and ignored it.
I think the programs make the assumption that if there are toll bypasses available, they’ll be faster than the regular highways (not an unwarranted assumption). In my case, it was long after rush hour, so there was no appreciable difference.
That or the programming defaults to fastest route.
