It helps that these are actually signposted as black-on-orange "DETOUR" bannered routes. The severely multiplexed and complicated situation this creates causes passengers in my car to giggle when the Garmin announces that you should make a movement following the detour routes, since it'll say things like "Exit left to..." then rattle off all the refs and detour refs, then the highway name. Even with speed limits reduced to 30-45 MPH on the freeway, it still takes just long enough that it's time to announce the next turn as soon as it finishes rattling off one. But it's better than watching folks who don't have OpenStreetMap on their GPS...since it won't be aware that all traffic is being squeezed through on what is normally the westbound 244/southbound 75 span. Their nav trying to reconcile driving the "wrong" way on the freeway is bound to cause navrage with the folks who don't know about OSM on Garmin...
