these other examples are quite different though, the particularity of
venice is that it is an intense urban setting, with a complete ban for
bicycles, and a very hard time for any other wheeled vehicles like
wheelchairs and strollers, due to frequent bridges with steps. I agree
somehow that you can find similar conditions in historic centres in areas
with hills (i.e. lots of steps as well). Usually we would not tag anything
smaller than at least 3-4 meters as pedestrian road, for sure not a footway
where even a wheelchair can't pass due to the width (like the 50cm example
I gave above).

Cheers,
Martin
