This isn't as simple as you make out. Assume that I am at point A and wish
to
go to point B, which involves a "wild crossing" at some point between the
two.
However, there is a real crossing at point C, a mile beyond point B, A
router
will direct me to travel to point C (a mile further than my destination) in
order
to cross the road there, so I can then walk a mile back to B.
