Perhaps my perspective is very Dutch, as here in NL you are always allowed to walk on a cycleway. When a pedestrian sees a cycleway on the map she'll know that she can walk on it and use it as a footpath. However, when a cyclist sees a footpath on the map, he'll assume he won't be allowed to cycle there. The standard mapping in NL boils down to: - Only pedestrians allowed => highway=pedestrian - Also cyclists allowed => highway=cycleway Just my two cents.
