This comes up with a dam with no tracks in the USA.
Better off with https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/435947564
And that clearly demonstrates the problem.

Easiest?
Delete the walking track nameS from the road.

The walking tracks are all relations and they do tolerate the use of the 
road, no mater what name it has, as part of there routes.

More work
Putting a footpath in .. what evidence do you have of the footpath?
Then changing each relation to use the footpath rather than the road.
As the original mapper has not bothered neither would I.
