Thanks for chiming in! cycle.travel/map is really good! I like how responsive the interface is, and its routing algorithm seems on par with other ones I've tried. Do you take into account traffic info for Germany? I couldn't find good open sources for that.

Yeah, Strava tends to overestimate the rideability of bigger roads. Keep in mind that a lot of groups use Strava, and it's easier to ride a busy road when you're in a group. In Germany, for example, you even have a different legal status on the road. I would love it if I could somehow filter the global Strava data, but they don't make their data available; not that I would expect them to.

No, I've not found national traffic data for Germany, unfortunately. I think it exists for one or two areas (NRW maybe?) but certainly not nationally, and the proprietary sources tend to be prohibitively expensive. I'm intrigued as to whether it might be possible to count cars in imagery as a possible alternative...
