Yes, the definition of "highway" used in OSM covers more than just
motor-vehicle routes.
Ok, so whats the difference between a pedestrian highway and a
footpath then?
It says "where wide expanses of hard surface are provided", what is
the width that separates them?
It's difficult to make a precise definition of course. Some ideas of
mine:
No hard surface: footpath
No houses next to it: footpath
High use: pedestrian
Urban area: pedestrian
The wide expanse is in the sense of a (town) square or a pedestrian
area.
