    <p>Obviously, it depends on the router.  In some cases I suspect "it
      isn't"*.  The instance of OSRM that is linked to from osm.org
      doesn't like foot routing on trunk roads - see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_foot&route=54.0440%2C-0.9416%3B54.0410%2C-0.9469#map=14/54.0414/-0.9253">https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_foot&route=54.0440%2C-0.9416%3B54.0410%2C-0.9469#map=14/54.0414/-0.9253</a>
      .  That router is hosted in Germany, where as I understand it
      things tend to only get tagged as "trunk" when they are also
      "motorroad=yes", so perhaps it's applying "normal German tag
      usage" worldwide.<br>
    </p>
    <p>In this example, the relevant bit of trunk road
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/868354780#map=16/54.0434/-0.9456">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/868354780#map=16/54.0434/-0.9456</a>
      has a sidewalk tag on it, and I'd always suggest ensuring that
      things like sidewalks, verges or shoulders are mapped.  There will
      still (as here) be data consumers that ignore that information,
      but hopefully in the future those issues can be resolved.</p>

    <p>* There are exceptions - from memory I think that
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://cycle.travel">https://cycle.travel</a> is one example that does have different rules
      in different places<br>
