Have a look at this typical Dutch situation:
https://www.google.com/maps/@53.1426041,5.7397237,3a,75y,228.33h,88.04t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAhezo74J5tsgo0u0mM-oNQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
On the right, a road, on the left, a compulsory cycleway. Dutch law says
that pedestrians must use the cycleway here (and they may walk on its
hard surface), and may not use the shoulder of the road because the
(much safer) cycleway is there. So the road gets foot=use_sidepath, and
the cycleway has no foot value (because the Dutch default access tags
have foot=yes for highway=cycleway), or foot=yes.
So you are saying that in Norway, in a case like this, pedestrians can
choose to use the shoulder of both the road and the cycleway?
