I wouldn't recommend this option for inexperienced riders. Especially not on a city bike. I'm a somewhat advanced gravel rider and I switched this option off. To many times you can't continue without a machete. I'm in Germany BTW.
Sounds like it might vary. I don't have dirt roads near me, so it selects safe roads with slower traffic instead. Hopefully they can add a proper "prefer safer roads" option, but this works for me in the meantime.
