It goes to route planning. Generally speaking, turning right results in less time spent idling while waiting to make a turn than making a left turn. At least in states where a right turn on red light's legal. UPS reduced their fuel consumption by reducing the number of left turns on the routes in favor or.maximizing the right turns.
