Why doesn't the routing (paved only mode) just go from 1 to 2 instead of insisting on the detour?

seems to treat this junction as an obstacle that can be passed in one direction only

Quick answer is that it’s a bug but I’ve just worked out why it’s happening, so it’ll be fixed next time the data is updated – thanks for spotting!
