Description
## Motivation
The pedestrian roads (ie walking tracks) are not rendered on maps with zoom level lower than 14. With the Outdoor style being targeted for use such as mountain biking, hiking etc, this cut-off level is too restrictive for being any use as a route planning tool. On mobile, the map must be barely 2km across before the walking tracks are rendered. This really defeats the very purpose that this style was created to serve.
## Design Alternatives
Render those path types at a lower zoom level. 11 ideally, though even 12 would be a vast improvement.

Research direction
Start by locating where the Outdoor style sets the minimum zoom for pedestrian roads or walking tracks. Test the style at zoom levels 11 and 12, then verify that the routes appear at the chosen lower threshold without affecting unrelated map features.
