[QUOTE=Metis]This also happens in CP and I often wonder about it. I've come to the conclusion that it is based on an understanding of roads and psychology.
Most often when a criminal is running they are in a panic. They need to get away. Imagine if you're running from someone in a panic. You'll probably try to take routes you know well. If you don't know the area then you'll try to los the person chasing you by running through narrow roads, suddenly turning, and taking straight paths.
Now I'm pretty sure that police are aware of this as well. So when they divide up to chase down the criminal, they take routes that will block the criminal, like taking a side road before the criminal does because they know that the next side road is one that the criminal will most likely turn on. Or they turn because they know it'll bring them to the next main road.

That makes sense or they just are like Sherlock, having photographic memory of all the routes😉
