I have seen this kind of sidewalk that is just a marked lane in Germany as well, usually as part of parking lots or larger company grounds.
How about:
sidewalk=right
sidewalk:right:kerb=no
sidewalk:right:surface=asphalt
The most important thing is to tag whether there is a sidewalk or not. Regardless of whether it has a keen or not.
According to taginfo, sidewalk:right:kerb is already used a few times:
