In the SW UK, I would say not.
Inner Urban seems OK as long as you want to stop artery road rather than 
at the door; outer urban even less accuracy.
Rural areas - it's lucky dip  really, whole villages still missing & 
even their connecting roads are absent.

I would hazard a guess that foot routes are nearer to completion than 
vehicle.

I'm off to fill in some gaps.
