Describe the issue
Routing a car journey takes user over dangerous passes that are not ideal for most motorists. Can be cycled if you're good!

Steps to reproduce
Route from West Cumbria to anywhere south east (Manchester, Liverpool etc) and the routing takes you over Hard Knott and Wrynose passes. Whilst ok if you're used to them the road is a single (small) car wide and up to 30% gradient in places. Probably the worst available route and likely to end in roadside assistance or mountain rescue (at worst). Seen a few muppets in motorhomes attempting it and failing.

Technically the shortest route but also the worst option

Expected behaviour
Normal routing in via A66 to Penrith (Jct 40 M6) or A595 to A590(1) then M6 - Local knowledge
Being able to select A road or stopping unclassified or B roads would help
