Description
**Android API:** Unknown
**Mapbox Navigation SDK version:** Unknown
### Steps to trigger behavior
When navigating, the "current road" label can sometimes show the name of a nearby footway.
In this example, "100 Steps" is referring to this path: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/166468142 which is adjacent to the road.
### Expected behavior
When navigating using a Driving profile, foot-accessible paths should not be considered for detecting the current road name.
### Actual behavior
Looks like we're simply picking the name of the nearest map feature to the current position - if there's position error, the displayed name can be incorrect.

Trace how the nearest map feature is selected and verify the result excludes foot-accessible paths while preserving the actual road name.
