<p dir="auto">“Pedestrian mall” has historically been the preferred term in American English, as seen in <a href="https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=pedestrian+mall%2Cpedestrian+precinct%2Cpedestrian+road%2Cpedestrian+zone&year_start=1920&year_end=2022&corpus=en-US&smoothing=3" rel="nofollow">Google Books Ngram Viewer</a>. However, I appear to be dating myself: “pedestrian street” is more popular in the last several years, and “pedestrian zone” is also becoming common. That’s the term <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_zone" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> uses too, to avoid favoring American/Australian terms over the British term “pedestrian precinct”. “Pedestrian road” appears to be very rare.</p>

<p dir="auto">I think “pedestrian street” would be intuitive and pretty close to your suggestion. “Pedestrian zone” would be problematic because it too strongly suggests an area, whereas this tag can validly appear on a way.</p>
