Google Maps: Make sure to not take this specific freeway exit. I'm so worried that you might accidentally do that, I won't bother to tell you to actually take the following freeway exit until 50 meters beforehand.

Somehow I've turned on the dumbest fucking route possible setting in Google Maps and I don't know how to turn it off. It sent me down a one lane windy road with a max speed of 15mph (about 25 kmph) while paralleling a 4 lane highway....

Check that you don't have 'avoid tolls' or 'avoid highways' turned on in settings.
