[GraphHopper] Routeing option: Walking on mixed cycle/footpath

[Bram Duvigneau]

Hello,

Of course the situation may be different from region to region, but I
can't think of a cycle way here (Netherlands) that is not allowed for
pedestrians. I also see many streets with separate cycleways where the
sidewalk is next to the cycleway and the sidewalk is not tagged on the
main way, nor on the cycle way.

In my experience until now planning local pedestrian routes, the bike
profile always gives a better route then the pedestrian profile.
