last i heard, most (all ?) do not. if the area is connected to an 
incoming serviceway, routing will guide you along the border of the 
area... which in most cases would even be enough.

lately i have seen (and use myself) an approach where the area is 
mapped, and serviceways are also mapped through it for the main 
directions of travel. these "guidance" ways are also connected to the 
area at all the places where they cross.

it's somewhat similar to riverbank area & waterway=river through it :)
