They just get off the motorways on different points for their final destination and the same swallows always return to their birthplace.

But it would be fine if birds and bees had no predators and didn't eat then they could fly in straight lines all day. I'd equate our humble swallow to a mosquito fighter bomber from world war 2. You want to get to your destination as fast as possible but in a way that brings no attention or alerts the Luftwaffe. So they hug the ground and still use landmarks as well as their compass to get to their target. If there's a canal going straight to the factory. Use that for low flying without worrying about hitting a tree or being spotted by a 109.
