[Tagging] Node objects in tunnels or on bridges?

Take a look at this example, the Galata Bridge in Istanbul, Turkey

http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=galata%20bridge#map=19/41.02271/28.97477

The tunnels under the streets are lined with shops on both sides of a wide
walkway. It's essentially a mall and all of it is underground. I added a
few shops and added the layer=-1 tag to them but I am not sure how such
shops should be rendered. GraphHopper can find them if you ask for a
walking route to one of them but stumbles on the same route for a car. It
leaves you on the roadway on top of the bridge nearest the shop, which is
at least realistic if not practical.
