Ideally, yes. But routing software can't possibly process the logic
correctly in cases like these. Some roads may not have a pavement, but
they are safe for pedestrians due to the lack of traffic. In other
cases extreme footways should not be used because of crime.

If you don't trust your own opinion, ask a few locals if they would
advise a tourist to walk there. If they say no, then tag them with
foot=no and add a note describing why you did it.
