Yes, only if the local legislation infers that pedestrians have to use a (usually car) road-accompanying sidewalk.

Also, your project reminds me of wandrer.earth, where craig also introduced a way for running to track ran ways, not only for cyclists. Though i only use it for cycling.

Thanks Cyton.

Just to be clear, I'm only talking about automobile roads - highway=trunk/primary/secondary/tertiary/unclassified/residential.

If and only if there is a separately mapped sidewalk.
Sidewalk=separate means there needs to be such a way.
However i would tag foot=use_sidepath, which means the same as foot=no but also indicates the existence of a separate way usable for routing.
And only if the highway is a streets centerline, not a cycleway or other.

Hello,

I am the author of a data consumer which generates a list of streets that are accessible to walkers and joggers. The idea is that a user would have a map of the streets in their town and can challenge themselves to walk/jog down every street, and they can look at statistics on which streets they've completed.  I use a 25-meter rule, so if a user can walk along the shoulder, or on a sidewalk/pavement, or in the verge, that's acceptable.

I recently came across an unexpected tagging combination and I would like to understand how folks in various places would interpret this:

highway=<whatever>
foot=no
sidewalk=separate

In my software's logic, I've made the assumption that foot=* applies to "the whole of the road" including the roadway, shoulders, verge, sidewalks, and so forth and thus excluded any roads that include that tag, regardless of other tagging. I came to understand that this tagging was used by a mapper to indicate that "pedestrians are not allowed on the roadway, however, they are allowed on the sidewalk"

Would folks regard that as accurate data modeling?  I.e. should I change my software to treat streets tagged in this way as pedestrian-accessible, or would folks regard this combination as a tagging error?
