Yes, you misunderstood the concept. Maybe your mail crossed with my
explanations before. The network doesn't consist of a special type of
roads. They are route suggestions for cyclists from node to node. I
don't know anything comparable in the car traffic. The routes between
nodes can be quite complicated and use different types of ways -
sometimes even stairs. Besides the signposting with the standardized
route marker there are no other specific features of the ways themselves.
