Hello Michael,

What route type do we talk about?
If you cannot build foot or bicycle route through specified street, then
yes, this is navigation engine bug, and I will add it to CloudMade ticket
system. If talking about cars, I still do not prefer routing over "motorcar:
private" streets - Nic Roets described the reasons quite clearly.
