How can I query for a list of specific road types in the same Overpass query?

Question

I'm trying to query for a number of specific road types in the same request, and I can't get the syntax right at all.

Can anyone alter the following query to select "motorway", "trunk" and "primary" roads?

[timeout:25];
way["highway"="motorway"](53.5084,-2.9916,53.6,-2.8);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

[timeout:25][bbox:{{bbox}}];
(
  way["highway"="motorway"];
  way["highway"="trunk"];
  way["highway"="primary"];
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

On overpass turbo: overpass-turbo.eu/s/aT3 , but note you'll also probably want motorway_link, primary_link and trunk_link .

You can also replace the repeated ({{bbox}} by a global bbox. The first line would then read: [timeout:25][bbox:{{bbox}}]; while the other row looks like: way["highway"="motorway"];

For the sake of completeness: you can of course also use regular expressions: overpass-turbo.eu/s/aTO
