Markus,
I like your proposal but think it needs to clarify the difference between a pedestrian lane and a shoulder [1]. In the US, most (many?) states allow pedestrians to walk on shoulders if there is no sidewalk/footway, with the exception of motorways. How would a mapper know if this is a shoulder or a pedestrian lane?

AFAIK shoulders are, in general, thought for vehicles in case of an emergency and present in big highways (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_(road)), while pedestrian lanes are made explicitly for pedestrians, especially in small roads in an urban context.
