Apple Maps Takes Back Roads More Than Highways

[stressed]

I've been noticing that when I'm traveling back home from a location I've driven to, Apple Maps takes a lot of back roads to get me home. This can be a little disconcerting considering you may not know where you're at and you are just looking to get on the highway as fast as you can. I've checked the Settings > Maps > Driving & Navigation > Avoid and Highways is not selected. Has anyone else noticed anything similar? Thanks.

Maps seems to have a strange way of selecting the fastest way or shortest way. It seems as if there are times it takes me on a strange path to get some place.
