I don't see like that. Routing data may include at least every way which is 
marked with keyword "highway". These are not only streets for cars, but 
includes footpaths and all other variations of "highways". In the early 
times of OSM there was only a street for cars. Pedestrian ways were mostly 
"assumed" to exist as well. Then they were eventually excluded, then 
seperate pedestrian paths were implemented, also separate cycle ways may 
have been created. And see what happened to routing in forests, routing of 
trekking paths and so on. While calculating the route even for cars, 
everything on its way has to be considered to see if it fits or not. I find 
this a quite enormous amount of data, growing massively.

Best regards, Alexander.
