Thanks for your prompt response and i am going to refix/change the attribute from footway to residential, as it is evident on image.
Thank you.

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I observed cars in Esri World imagery (lat/lon:-3.7294471, -38.4697683) which indicated that these roads are navigable. In such cases, should this not be tagged with lower priority (residential)-Highway class rather than footway?

Thanks for your help and advice.
