Nearly - it is now:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/open/2011-02/roadnetworkconsultation.pdf
(37 pages of extreme verbosity later, losing the will to live on the way)

Is "what the situation is supposed to be now" available anywhere? If
not, does it really matter? OSM already tends to react to signage
changes faster than commercial maps, so personally I wouldn't want to
pay someone in a local authority to do something that doesn't need to be
done.

There are quite a few listed here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing
and also see here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin
Both of those pages suffer from the lack-of-quality,
lack-of-completeness and lack-of-up-to-date-ness that many OSM wiki
pages suffer from, but should at least give you an idea of the breadth
of routing options available.
Cheers,
Andy
