I was browsing the pedestrian section of routing.xml online here 
<https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/routing/routing.xml>.
 
This part caught my attention:

<point attribute="obstacle_time">
<select value="5" t="highway" v="traffic_signals"/>
<select value="10" t="crossing" v="unmarked"/>
<select value="5" t="crossing" v="uncontrolled"/>
<select value="30" t="crossing" v="traffic_signals"/>
<select value="5" t="highway" v="crossing"/>
...
</point>  

According to the OSM wiki here 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals#Traffic_signals_for_pedestrians>
 and here 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing%3Dtraffic_signals> and 
the usage near me, highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>
=crossing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dcrossing> + 
crossing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing>=traffic_signals 
can be placed at a pedestrian crossing on a road even when no intersecting 
pedestrian way is mapped. E.g. there is a crossing, and pedestrians are 
probably on sidewalks but they aren't mapped as separate ways.

Would the XML above penalise a walking route along a road passing such 
crossings, even though they probably wouldn't need to be taken?

I'm just naive and curious, so please don't reply if you have anything 
better to do :-)
