this is oversimplified, you are indeed legally required to walk on the road even in the presence of sidewalks: if carrying big loads. When there is no signage, foot=no is incorrect and will not represent the situation on the ground. 

If nobody should ever walk in that underpass, authorities should put a sign to prevent them, come on, it’s Germany,  in Italy they do it:

Nobody sane would anyway walk into a traffic tunnel without pedestrian spaces, regardless of the instructions your navigation device issues ;-)

Ciao, Martin
