Comment from HellMap
Hi!
Thanks for you edits.
Just wanted to let you know that technically none of the roads you tagged as `foot=no` have a legal restriction for pedestrians. Latvian Traffic Law allows pedestrians on pretty much any road. It may not be wise to walk on viaduct trunk roads like here, but it's not illegal.
For the sake of routing, we can probably leave `foot=no` on these trunk roads, although no sane router should route pedestrians here anyway.
About this residential road though https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/160947898. It is not correct to specify `foot=no` here. While it's okay to put that on roads where no pedestrians are ever expected, here you can see many cars parked, so people obviously can and do walk here as it is perfectly legal.
I am not sure what you mean by "pedestrian walkway", but if you mean a sidewalk, then not having a sidewalk does not forbid foot travel. In fact, it's literally the opposite - if there's a sidewalk, then pedestrians must use it. If there is no sidewalk, pedestrians may walk on the shoulder.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for the detailed reply. Yes, apparently my knowledge is limited regarding the laws, thank you for bringing your attention to this. And you are right - that one indeed has parked cars, somehow overlooked it.
I will refrain from making such edits in future.
Take care,
Ansis -
