Actually, it's verse 17 (at least in the Hebrew text).
"And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had sent the people (the Israelites) to go, that God did not lead them via the Philistines' land, despite its being near; for God said: 'Lest the people rethink it when they see war, and (decide to) return to Egypt.' "

The wilderness, by definition, didn't have many traveled roads, but they did stop at known places (Numbers ch.33).
