I agree.
But cyclists aren't required to use the
shoulder (except on some freeways), so cycleway=shoulder is
misleading. (They also aren't required to use bike lanes in many
states, but those are specially designated for bikes, unlike
shoulders.) To me cycleway=shoulder would mean that there are signs or
pavement markings marking the shoulder as a bike lane.
On the other hand, shoulder=yes means nothing for cyclists; it may
have rumble strips and thus be unusable.
or rain gullies or even vehicles.
Perhaps shoulder=smooth vs.
shoulder=rumble_strips? Or shoulder=yes
cycle_hazard=shoulder_rumble_strips?
Shoulders are actually more important to pedestrians than cyclists. A
good cyclist won't care if there's a shoulder, but a good pedestrian
must walk against traffic and be prepared to get out of the way if
walking in the travel lane. So if anything they should be
footway=shoulder.
No!
You appear to be contradicting yourself. A shoulder is not designated
for foot use, even if the road is usable by pedestrians.
