Hi k-f

In case the area is wide it can be a pedestrian area.
Most of the time cycling is also permitted. It wil render wider.
A footway most of the time has an traffic_sign NL:G7 (cycling not allowed)
An pedestrian area G7zb with often an extra sign fietsen toegestaan. 
Sometimes even motor_vehicle. 

The former mapper created here an highway=residential.
I don't think it's a residential. (old situation?)
But up to you as local mapper. :)

greetz,
eggie
