Pedestrians can use MUPs freely---though not unwisely---but that is asking Way too much of the current population of this country---but Bike Lanes on the road are Exclusively for bikes. I can get a ticket (in some states) for Not being in the bike lane on my bike.
So, as for pedestrians on the bike lane .... anything goes. I won't as a rule behead someone for a first offense ... but if I see a one-armed pedestrian walking towards me in a marked lane .......
