Navigation options which stick to motorways

Please could I request the option to choose routes which stick to motorways/major A-Roads wherever possible, at the cost of arriving a few minutes later?

I'm thinking more like Google maps, which prioritises smoothness/fewer deviations from main roads, over outright ETA like Waze does consistently, and ABRP does frequently, as an example: in the vicinity of london it seems to avoid the M25 at weekends, frequently sending you on detours through the countryside to avoid it, without giving the choice, when Google maps shows ~ identical ETAs for both options.

I find this style of driving much more stressful on a long road trip, and would like the option to trade off a few minutes from my ETA, for a more relaxed drive sticking to main roads. Especially as more cars get advanced driver assistance features which work best on motorways/dual carriageways, and handle traffic jams for the driver.

ABRP also behaves a bit like Waze, in that it'll pop off motorways and back on to avoid a small amount of traffic. Usually saving 30s or so. I understand that some people like to drive like this to arrive as quickly as possible, but I would like the option to take the more chilled Google maps approach and stick like glue to major roads unless there's a significant impact on ETA.

Asking as I love the EV routing features of ABRP, I just don't like the Waze-esque navigation algorithm.

Thanks!
