Is that so, even if the roads are also mapped?
Currently, Mapzen and GraphHopper car routers on osm.org navigate along the street right through the area of highway=pedestrian multipolygon
Sorry, my message wasn't clear. What I meant was that pedestrian relations don't work for *pedestrian routing* and that pedestrian areas imply that pedestrians can move freely on that area, which is not true, because there are also roads (this is rather a logical than a rendering/routing issue).
As an example, GraphHopper and Maps.me route pedestrians through Münsterhof in Zürich (only along the edges though) [1] but not through Lindenplatz [2]. Münsterhof is tagged as a closed way, Lindenplatz as a multipolygon. Mapzen isn't able to route pedestrians through both squares. [3][4]
