Unfortunately, the legal situation is not always as clear as we wish to. There are a lot of grey zones and we need to apply common sense when tagging the access rules.

You're undoubtedly correct. However, foot=yes/no has always represented, as stated many times previously & in the wiki,  the legality of access.


Here are a few situations where I would not hesitate to put a foot=no on the road even if there is no corresponding traffic sign.

Pedestrians can take the level footpaths/sidewalks instead taking the underpass: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/6187386#map=18/50.94224/6.95277. There is no signage forbidding foot traffic. (https://www.google.de/maps/@50.9444478,6.9530483,3a,60y,190.35h,87.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQMNheDoeod1aqNAV9jAkzQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)

For that example you should use another tag & not misappropriate.
