In terms of switching, a standard VLAN is one at Layer 2 (no IP Address) and a routed VLAN is one that has Layer 3 connectivity (an IP Address) assigned to it. For example, in a switch, VLAN 100 might have 10.1.1.1 assigned to it, VLAN 200 has 10.2.2.1 assigned, and VLAN 300 doesn't have an IP assigned. In this case, systems with the 10.1.1.x network addresses would be able to ping each other and the 10.1.1.1 address, and as long as routing is turned on they could also reach the 10.2.2.x network. VLAN 300 however would not be able to reach either VLAN 100/200 (not participating in the Layer 3 function, just Layer 2) though would be able to reach anyone in their VLAN as long as their IP addressing is on the same network.
There is also the possibility to use a layer 2 switch, 3 VLANs, trunk two VLAN's to a router and use the router as the inter-VLAN routing (router on a stick).
