Unfortunately, that's limited to a single language, not international friendly. Having language at all makes it take longer to process too, but that's not as much of an issue in this case.
That seems to be the standard in the US though. I'm only following what they already do over there.
Sadly, I don't think you can have a wordless sign here that isn't negative. The option is a "no cars" symbol. I don't know how you'd do "pedestrians only" symbolicly.
Literally the image at the top of this comment chain?
Circular white on blue signs are "order" signs. Whatever they don't show is implicitly forbidden, without needing a red circle "forbiddance" sign.
America doesn't follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs, so a blue circular sign would be essentially meaningless over there. People have never seen it before and won't know what it represents.
Edit: As another example, this seems to be the sign for a bikelane or bikepath in the US
Canada does seemingly have an "order" sign, but theirs is a white circle with a green border
