That is true, but sometimes you just **want an alternative route** , maybe because the original route is blocked.  
You can use the _road block feature_, but often it is easier to just drive in the direction you want, and hope that routing will soon find an appropriate alternative .

There are reports that rerouting needs many attempts until an alternative route is found.  
e.g. [this](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/new-option-accept-detour-in-route-calculation/2850/5) from @Tom

I would say that a detour of 5min / 5km is acceptable.  
What do others think?
