<p>I've always believed that the oneway key applies to all
non-pedestrian traffic -- except on footway, path, steps, and
pedestrian, where it applies to all traffic. And of course
individual modes can be overridden with a oneway:*=* tag. <br>
</p>
<p>It's not entirely consistent per se, but it's pretty simple and
the preponderance of oneway=* tags on footways and oneway:foot=*
tags on other highways tells me that many mappers understand and
use this convention.</p>
<p>To me, foot:backward=no seems like a awkward solution to a
contrived problem.</p>
