As an example:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Weyringergasse%2033,%20Wien

Here, there's a ~250-meter-long way without any mapped crossing. If, as a 
hypothetical example, I want to go by foot from the Sri Lankan embassy to 
the Restaurant Venezia right across the street, the router sends me on a 
~250 meter detour all the way to Favoritenstraße and back instead of the ~25 
meter segment along the abstracted street I would otherwise get.
