Does it work for shorter distances? within a city from one business to another address?

it can be extended arbitrary given the proper dataset. For the current default settings, road class covers everything below 3. This translates to

FREEWAY = 1 # Freeway (Multi-lane, controlled access)

PP_TH = 2 # Primary Provincial/Territorial highway

SP_TH_MA = 3 # Secondary Provincial/territorial highway/ municipal arterial

MC_USP_TH = 4 # Municipal collector/Unpaved secondary provincial/territorial highway

LS_WR = 5 # Local street/ winter road

3 was the sweetspot. The dataset can be explored here in case you want to get an intuition on detail level. https://geodata.bts.gov/datasets/usdot::north-american-roads...
