even when traffic is backed up to a standstill, they'll still take the shortest route and leave alternate routes empty
In that video, there wasn't ever really much traffic on the route taken. Having said that, if Sims aren't taking the shortest route (timewise, including traffic effects), that's a major problem.

Ridiculous, as of all the annoyances in 4, pathfinding is one of the greatest.
