Rule of thumb when thinking routing:

Don’t count on motor vehicle routing on highway=track, highway=road and 
highway=service, implementation of these tags vary greatly in routing software

For pedestrian routing, don’t count on restrictions for highway=primary, 
highway=trunk, highway=motorway and highway=*_link to be set correctly, if 
routing/non-routing is vital in surrounding of such roads, tag access on them 
so routing software can override

Priority between streets, sidewalks, and walkways are something that needs to 
be sorted out in each routing application, if you encounter problems, best is 
to open a ticket or issue with the routing provider.
