(That's not the case here - there is a pavement by the side of the major road
and I was walking along it.)

I think this is what I'll do. The extra paths from the road to the subway do not
physically exist, but they do represent a walking route that I took (if we
make the usual assumption that I was walking exactly in the middle of the road
and then turned off to take the subway) and they make life easy for routing
software.
