It is not always desirable for dwarves to take the shortest path between two points. With the designation of set traffic areas: d - o, it is possible to make movement through that area cost more (in terms of path finding - not in terms of how difficult it is to move through). This can be useful for a butcher's shop that has possible thoroughfare - some dwarves get disturbed if they walk through it and see an animal being slaughtered. Another example would be reducing traffic through an area that will occasionally get flooded, routing dwarves around it in preference.
