This makes sense to me, but the wiki[1] is somewhat confusing about the
difference between foot=use_sidepath and foot=no:

"This tag, like bicycle=use_sidepath, applies only to roads with a
classification that allows pedestrian use. In some countries it is illegal
for pedestrians to use a road if a parallel compulsory sidepath exists. On
OSM, this can be indicated by tagging the main road as foot=use_sidepath if
the sidepath is mapped separately. This tag should only be applied in
countries that have compulsory footways. Where the main road is explicitly
forbidden, typically by a traffic sign on the main road, whether a sidepath
exists or not, foot=no should be used."
