[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting result - Pedestrian lane

But we are not mapping the users of the lane, we are trying to map the
construction, not?
The construction is some paint on a surface that would be used by cars
if there was no paint.
Since the "construction" is the same for pedestrian lanes and cycle
lanes, I thought that having a similar tagging scheme for both would
be beneficial.

After all, we do use highway=footway and highway=cycleway as well,
although they are constructed for different groups (pedestrians and
"vehicles").
