Can we get some feedback from different countries whether walking is
permitted on cycleways? At least in Germany and Italy it is
(officially) forbidden.
There are extremely few where there is not a footway alongside, even
in Germany.
In the Netherlands it is governd by article 4 RVV:
1. Pedestrians use the pavement or footpath.
2. They use the cycleway in case pavement or footpath are not present.
3. They use the grass/hard shoulder or the side of the road in case a
cycleway is not present.
This means that you are allowed to walk on any cycleway if there is not
a footpath next to it.
It is quite common for extra-urban roads to have a cycleway on one or
either side of it and pedestrians should use that if they want to walk
there. This is a good example:
