It depends on the renderer, but I'd be surprised if many maps rendered 
"highway=no".

A quick overpass search finds 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/712060246 .  None of the 4 map layers 
at osm.org show that.  The effect on a renderer designed to should 
"designation" is this:

https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=54.01187&lon=-2.20735

that shows the designated PF in red and the "non-official" part of the 
route in grey.
