It makes no attempt to distinguish between safe and unsafe intersections. And if you’re not familiar with the area you don’t know any alternatives. Once DH was going somewhere unfamiliar and the GPS wanted him to cross a busy 4 lane highway at a stop sign. It only looks for the shortest way (loves to take you on a maze to save .00001 of a mile) and nothing else.
