When creating a map for the car, I _do_ remove stuff I don't want it to 
think about navigating over (footways, paths, tracks without appropriate 
access) from the .osm file that gets fed to mkgmap.  The idea is not 
just to fix the problem that you're seeing, but also to just reduce data 
to speed up route creation.
