Okay, right, this is a good point. I am not a native speaker and translated the German word "zugänglich" (literally: enterable) to English and wasn't aware of the ambiguous/broad meaning in the context of accessibility.
So I'll negate the wording to specifically ask for it being forbidden. Furthermore, I mentioned it already, I am primarily after tagging explicitly situations like road sections within large intersections, overpasses, underpasses, inner segregated lanes of large streets, connecting/linking road way section that are in reality simply part of the street area and so forth. I am not interested to add foot=X to any rural road etc. So, while a tag to denote that a road is rural does not exist (yet), I could filter out uninteresting roads using tell-tale tags. So, I could further filter out roads with.. - lit != yes (so, also if lit is not set) to exclude most of the rural/undeveloped roads. For UK, it is not even tell-tale - motorway, motorroad anyway - any but paved roads - perhaps even only oneway roads?? (asking for input here) Because the cases I mentioned are in the majority oneway-lanes - perhaps also only ask for a sidewalk in the first place if the road is tagged as lit=yes? Asking for input.
