Interesting, can you post a link? As a cyclist, it never occurred to me to avoid these streets - if anything, I preferred them, as they tend to be quiet, and often quite interesting. For the time being, it might be best to tag them with a specific "local_traffic_only=yes" or something, so we know exactly what is being encoded.
