Option to hide motorways, and other features not routable for pedestrians or cyclists #11072

πŸš€ feature request

Description

Motorways often visually obstruct cycle paths, making them more difficult to identify. This issue is especially bad when using UniRSβ€”the map style that's supposed to highlight bicycle featuresβ€”as motorways are drawn with similar colors to those used for local bike routes: signal-2021-03-05-131057

Describe the solution you'd like

If you have a solution in mind, please describe it. This issue could be alleviated with the option to hide motorways and other roads not routeable for bikes. ### Describe alternatives you've considered [The CyclOSM tile layer](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CyclOSM), which is intended for use by cyclists, renders highways with muted colors. [If a new map style were created that used a similar color scheme,](https://www.cyclosm.org/legend.html) that would actually be my preferred solution. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/46303203/110156305-c9504b80-7db4-11eb-8a76-e112b3bfbfc0.png)

I have a similar issue with bike routes on the default style. It's hard to differentiate actual cycleways from roads that have bike lanes or share lanes with bikes (which are all similarly marked on the map). I found that using the CyclOSM lite overlay distinguishes between these much better and only shows bike lanes/shared lanes at a high zoom level. It would be nice to be able to have this work similarly without using an overlay that is often redundant.
