How would it look if adding highway=motorway,trunk,primary to the
rendering? Maybe in light shades of grey?

All these *are* already on the rendering; the rendering is based on plain z9 tiles which are just bitmap reduced. They're just not prominent enough. Using a few simple tricks a la http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/tiles/ the roads could perhaps be brought out more. Of course I could also simply not render landcover at all at z9.

Is transparency an option? So areas with higher mapping density would
come up more prominent?

I don't think that would work with the bitmap approach.

Was the query speed a problem for the mapnik setup?

No, it was relatively benign, took my tile server a few hours to make the base tiles on z9 and then the rest was easy.

Bye
Frederik
