Use cycle path as pedestrian in Netherlands

In the Netherlands I've often seen that there is a street for cars and an (often 2-lane) separate cycle path, but no dedicated sidewalk.

What do I do as a pedestrian then? Is it okay to simply walk on the cycle path? And what if there is no street and only a cycle path, marked with a blue sign with the word 'fietspad' written in white, can I walk or jog there?

Edit Here is an image of such a configuration:

Do pedestrians have right of way on cycle paths?

These paths can be used by pedestrians, cyclists, joggers and dog walkers. There are no lanes marked on the path and nobody has the right of way, so all users are equally responsible for their actions.

Can a cyclist use a pedestrian crossing?

You may ride across but you MUST NOT cross until the green cycle symbol is showing. Cycle track crossings can be in spacious pedestrian environments. Cyclists should look out and be prepared to stop for pedestrians crossing the track informally as well as at these designated points.

Is it illegal to cycle on a pathway?

The simple answer to this is yes. Section 72 of the Highway Act 1835 prohibits 'wilfully riding' on footpaths, which refers to the path at the side of a carriageway.
