it’s the default for OpenStreetMap to assume everybody can access a highway road, unless it has restricted access (motorway). I am not familiar with the US situation, but I thought interstate highways are usually motorways? If a road is forbidden for pedestrians and not a motorway or motorroad, you should add foot=no IMHO, even in absence of signage.
