+1

but then we either should complete ignore the sign or tag bicycle=no as
it is no bicycle way.

Dangerous places should get their own tag (obstical/hazard).

As for the situation in Italy, I would simply tag the crossing way with:
highway=path
foot=designated
vehicle=no

In all situation we do not need bicycle=dismount.

Can anyone state that in her/his country this traffic_sign is official
and not made up by some people ?
