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.
