While viewing Vatican City, I noticed an extremely high ratio of
access=private roads.  I can understand access=private for most VC
buildings, but, roads, that seems highly unlikely.  I vaguely recall border
crossing issues between people accepted for Italy is nearly nonexistant for
Vatican City (as VC has no airports, and from what I know via Rick Steves
on NPR, has a borderless crossing with Italy via the Rome metropolitan
subway).  Therefore, my thinking is someone is tagging for the renderer in
the case of an exceptionally small country rather than the
renderer/navigation app properly handling how much of a shitheap it is to
cross an international boundary, even between exceptionally friendly
countries.  It's also possible (Did Not Inspect the Data beyond what's
rendered) that there are properly tagged border crossings in play (in which
case, please render this, since I have experienced limited cases of
US/Canada "fastest routing" cases sending me over the border at least
twice, when it's actually a real pain in the ass to enter Canada, and worse
coming back; and that pales in comparison with the difficulty of crossing
the US/MX border legally).
