It's common in North America.  Sometimes it even switches between a path
and a cycleway.  Galloping Goose Cycleway and Trail in Canada's a fantastic
example of both.

1. Cycleway that allows pedestrians:

2. A path segment of the same in a more rural area:

3. Keep going further out and it becomes a track (with obvious evidence
doubletracked vehicles, like maintenance trucks, do use it, but probably
not open to most motor vehicles):
