Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

This footpath is a Public Right of Way and is currently open for use. There is an overlapping zig-zag gap in the central barrier for foot use on the A14. The state of the path nor the user's expectation does not alter these facts. If you don't feel safe on any highway don't use it, report it to the Highway Authority.

I've amended the tags.

Regards Bernard.
