it may have been used to intend applicability to pedestrians, but the wiki was always clear on this: oneway is about restrictions for vehicles and does not apply to pedestrians. There are 15 million oneway tags in the db, of these just a tiny fraction was intended to apply to pedestrians, almost all were intended not to apply to pedestrians. Let’s fix the erratic ones and move on.
