Perhaps my perspective is very Dutch, as here in NL you are always
allowed to walk on a cycleway. When a pedestrian sees a cycleway on
the map she'll know that she can walk on it and use it as a footpath.
However, when a cyclist sees a footpath on the map, he'll assume he
won't be allowed to cycle there.
The standard mapping in NL boils down to:
- Only pedestrians allowed => highway=pedestrian
- Also cyclists allowed => highway=cycleway
Just my two cents.
