That is an absurd proposition. It could lead us to label them as
"vägklassning=riksväg ; vägbredd=9 meter ; hastighet=90 km/h" and
we should just ignore the fact that the map of Sweden doesn't get
rendered at all. I feel like I have been far too pragmatic in my
first three years of OpenStreetMap.

It's all very easy. The function is "riksväg".

There are non-motorway roads where tractors and bicycles are
disallowed. These are called "motortrafikled" (and "2+1 väg") but
they are not very common in Sweden. And I don't know if this road
type is ever indicated on printed maps.
