I produced a pretty picture of taxi traffic a while back, I've stuck it

The problem with marking lightly trafficked roads as 'quiet lanes' on
OSM is that this is

So there should be a 'quiet_lane' value for highway, just as there is
'living_street'.

The traffic is a fluctuating measurement.
OpenStreetMap is about the objects and networks on the ground.
Yes your idea is good and I've had a similar idea with bicycle parking (when
is a rack full, empty, or in-between). It makes sense to keep it in a
designated database. When one enters data
Something reminded me of this thread and my suggestion that data for some
roads may already be collected. This seems to be true of Oxfordshire and it
is even published. The counts are collected by automatic and manual means by
the Transport Monitoring team of Oxfordshire County Council.

Hi all,
Sending this to talk-gb@ first (rather than tagging@ or talk@) as I'm
just floating an idea...
I've long wanted to get motor traffic levels on rural roads into OSM.
Traffic levels make a huge difference to the enjoyability of rural
cycling, and would enable really fun rendering
Traffic planners typically measure motor-vehicles-per-day (and quote
it to the nearest thousand), so I'd do traffic=1000, with advice
somewhere that you can use 1000* off-peak cars-per minute as an
approximation.
10* motor-vehicles per peak-hour is also a common rule-of-thumb (but I
wouldn't
Richard,
I think in my part of the SW the large majority of highway=unclassified
would be =1 car a minute average so just from a tagging perspective it
would be a lot easier just tagging those few that are busier.
