Displaying routes from the earliest zooms possible has the opposite problems. The regional + local route network can have such a density, that strong solid colours may visually hide the map by a cobweb of cycle routes.
You may have noticed from my screenshots, also refering to my prior Elevate them communication with @John Percy + few posts on OAM forum, that I use a modded Elevate theme for V3+V4 maps.
1/ It does not use original thick solid colours for regional/local routes for zoom (Z12-13 for V3, Z10-13 for V4), but replaces them by transparent colours and thinner lines, extrapolating it from Z14+ with emphasised route displaying. ( Rather a quick and dirty theme reverse engineering attempt, but it works.)
2/ For V4 maps, it borrows with John's permission the route inline tagging from the Voluntary UK theme, as Elevate theme has difficulties to display the inline route tags dense enough for V4 maps.
3/ For V4 maps, I turned ON the tagging since zoom 10, as Voluntary had it originally from Z15, what is too late. John brought it later to Voluntary UK for Z12or13 after my objection, as route tagging is very important for distinguishing the routes.
I have added screenshots at Z10 + Z13, for the original + modded Elevate V4 theme ( Sorry for inferior Tapatalk downsizing ), plus
