    My conspiracy theory is that sometimes it sends streams of cars down lanes like that to reduce traffic for others/VIPs. I’m not usually a tin-foil hat person but after a SF commute it makes me wonder.

      My conspiracy theory is that companies will soon pay Google to redirect traffic past their businesses within an acceptable delay. For example, as long as it’s not more than 1-2min delay, make sure they pass this KFC.

      Had this happen in Denver one year while traveling through. Traveling north on I-25 it dumped me out in a downtown street along with a bunch of others and then back on the interstate 30 MINUTES LATER. Would’ve taken 5 min staying on dammed I-25. No accidents or congestion it was avoiding according to it, Apple Maps, and Waze.
