    There are two intersections like the right panel (but for left turns) on my route home from work and they are perpetually red (heavy traffic) on my navigation.

        Construction and traffic.

        Some locales completely mismanage lane closure schedules, and for some reason 90% of people forget how driving works the moment the road is slightly moist.

        I live in a big city that has unpredictable traffic and construction everyday, where a 5 minute difference in departure time can exponentially increase your travel time. I have at least 3 primary routes to get home, and navigation helps me pick the best route at the time I leave. It will also suggest detours if it finds a faster way enroute.

        My spouse does the same (and I would also do, but I am a diehard bicyclist…).

        The city’s unpredictable road repair schedules and other unforeseen circumstances (e.g. we recently were led around a huge area because they were defusing another bomb), makes always activating navigation the sensible choice.
