These are sort of the things I would appreciate I could be able to map in OSM. Even with the subjective point of view that might represent to tag a way as insecure or not, it is easily achievable to determine a way or schema in wich you could identify wether a street is safe to walk or pass through under determinated conditions.
For example, I've been wondering if I could use class=bicycle to properly identify bicycle friendly streets in my city, considering we have no cycleways. In that process, I have found that some routing engines send me by streets I can't pass through by night nor alone, because they are very dangerous. I know I could map if the streets are well iluminated or how is their surface, but that's not enough to what happens on those streets (gangs and violence, for example). I could also use the class=bicycle tag and "hack" a routing service to properly identify these tags, but that's doesn't give me the real reflect of reality: I can move around those street by day, not on the night. I guess this scenario is similar to the one you mention, so I would propose two things: use a similar scheme tagging as class=bicycle for pedestrian (that it may be developed), and to propose a time-based tagging (hourly or night/day). On the other hand, some weeks ago I read about these kind of projects and tags within the map feaures, and how they could be misguided the OSM project to other things that are not included in the initial mission of the global project (to create a geo-database for scienteific and academic purpose). But I guess we can discuss how much would OSM as a service or OSM as a databse for social science research might be excellent to the whole global initiative and for incursioning in other research fields involving OSM.
