I really have no idea what your ultimate goal is, but in any case I
would strongly recommend to download a Europe extract (e.g. from
Geofabrik [1]), and use some filtering tool like osmium-tool [2] to
extract highways. Store the result in whatever DB you like, could be
even Overpass API.

If you insist on using Overpass API for the task at hand, start with
much smaller bounding boxes.

Also, please consider adding the term "Overpass API" to your email
subject. This list covers so many different tools, i.e. "Memory Error on
16GB RAM" isn't exactly helpful.
