Or you can achieve this with more flexibility by using rule-based labeling. Instead of "show labels for this layers" choose "rule-based labeling, add a new rule (plus button). enter image description here

In the filter box type "TYPE"='Motorway or highway'

and choose "TYPE" for the label with input.

If I'm understanding you correctly you want a row's NAME displayed only when that row's TYPE is 'Motorway or highway'. If that is the case then you can use the following in the "Label with" field (instead of the string TYPE that you currently have):

if (TYPE='Motorway or highway', NAME, '')
