what if you already have approve left hand turns? due to safety.

RRO proposes a new line of travel. Then management reviews it. They can disallow turns, sections, or roads for various reasons. Then RRO resequences it again.
If all seems good it’s remeasured, formalized, and implemented.

THIS PEOPLE ^^^^^^. What @Gotrope states is golden. In fact, ANY time a route is "adjusted" , and it does not matter if they are taking the back third of the route and making it the first third of the route , you insist that the route be ACTUALLY driven by a human being. That would be a carbon based life form. All of this dotcom, AI, RRECS program, optimize this, and all of the other "technological improvements" have absolutely NO CLUE as to real life, real time, and real world situations , possibilities, activities, etc. All this "optimization program" , which is just ANOTHER "program" in the long list of other "PROGRAMS" which ARE NOT working properly in the first place, is doing is taking a dot on a screen and moving it along a line of travel on a screen. THAT'S IT !!! This "program" does not know about dogs, traffic, blind spots, businesses that you USED to get to before they closed but now you can't because the "program" decided to move them in the line of travel, weather, time of day at certain TCPs ( lunch traffic and the like ) , and a myriad of other factors. Since RRECS isn't working properly, the correct "adjustment" process is non existent as well , all kinds of mail NOT being recorded as credit for carriers, what would make anyone believe that this "optimization process" is actually going to perform properly ?
But that requires leaving the office and doing "actual work." They may have to work too hard then if they have to do this.

neither does the PM.
Not a clue. and not a concern.
Mandatory office standup for all rural carrier offices. One of our offices was selected as pilot for District.
The short version:
The District will determine if they believe a route should be analyzed. Most routes won't be affected. The software program (within LTM) will, for that specific route, indicate a revised line of travel. The carrier and the PM look at the revision, decide it's worth pursuing, or make a change to the recommendation, or decide to reject the proposal. PM and carrier physically drive the route to ensure their "in the office" ideas are accurate and the best fit. The PM, as of now, has final authority on any changes and can reject anything. All the other wording is just how the process is handled should a revision be decided upon and approvals.

Thank you for the concise update / clarification.
yeah, had a section of road re paved. Went out with the dot guy to tell him where to put the mailboxes. One person HAD to have their mailbox right where it used to be. The state had re done the curve it was on, so when i was at the mailbox, i was at an angle to the road and could not see anything in my mirrors. Pm just rubber stamped the homeowners decision. The one comfort I have is that homeowners box has been wiped out by traffic three times in the last two years. It sits right where vehicles run when the road is slippery. Thankfully its no longer my route, and I dont have to worry about it.
well, my route got "selected".
old version: 10 left hand turns.
new version: 40. no kidding.
but hey, 3.6 miles shaved off!!!! the po will step over a dollar to save a dime. this also confirms that they have absolutely no regard for our safety.
management agrees with me that this version goes into file 13.

Stop complaining.
Ours have resequencing going through houses and over rivers with no bridges.
Are you going to file any 1767'S on those?
if district over-rides us, yes.
but my management and i are in rare agreement that our insect overlords are flippin' crazy.
. Had a major highway get put in a decade ago, lots of roads are dead end because of it now.

From what I’m seeing ALL routes are “selected” every time they are confirmed through LTM. They are reprocessed that evening.
Some will come back as optimal. Some that have changes in the line of travel might get selected after initially overlooked.
Another part of the pilot program is “substantial service changes” AKA one hour changes. This is the pilot for interim adjustments.

There you go. You are suppose to drive your route like it is EVERYDAY. Better get some pool floaties for your vehicles and bumper guards to go through those houses.
Tell people at the house you're sorry about the damage but USPS told me to drive my route how it is written.
So your safety was worth saving $3.95 a day. About $1200 bucks a year.
Hey now I got a route for them to do resequence or adjust.
Old route in old office I has intermediate office. This route is 100 miles. The intermediate part of the route is 12ish miles I believe (been 3+ years since I ran it), but it has 24 back ups in those 12ish miles.

I sure recall when doing route realignments a LONG time ago helping PM, that there was in writing a directive to whenever possible always choose longer and right turn vs left turn cross traffic. Don't know if that's still anywhere, but it's the bible we've always accommodated.
So, the smart ones on here, is this still a requirement?
