Don't use Motorway Links as shortcut

Bug Reports

Please don’t use Motorway Links as a shortcut. This is embarrassing (usually just merging with the same traffic again) and antisocial. It also makes me doubt every redirection ABRP is suggesting to me.

These links are correctly tagged in OSM, so I expect that this problem can be avoided. I realize there are closed/completed issues without fix for this, but it is really starting to become a reason to drop using ABRP.

Where does this happen?

    Hello @ABRP User #673884,

    We get our live traffic information from HERE and from their information it is reporting the main road to have heavier traffic currently and gives you the motorway link. We understand that it can be annoying at times but due to ABRP giving priority for you to reach the destination quicker, these redirections can happen occasionally.

    If you look at the current picture below, it lists the road to have heavy traffic and that is why it re-routes you. Let me know if you need more clarification on this and if you would like to add more information regarding this issue!
