remove or reduce casing of highway=pedestrian at z13

[nebulon42]

Otherwise it has a quite noisy appearance like here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/46.6153/13.8568

I agree it's unclear. I'm not sure reducing the casing is the solution, since it might make it invisible against common backgrounds.

I think they should be turned into a single line in the same colour that service roads have at that zoom, which is the @unimportant-road color. I guess the width could be left at 2px.
Z12 could be done similarly (#1964)

Actually if I read the mss right, now at z=13 service roads get line-width: 1 and no casing (roads.mss#L1452 and L516), while pedestrian roads have 2px casing and a fill width of
line-width: @living-street-width-z13 - 2 * @casing-width-z13;
which equals 1 (roads.mss#L1497)
Should highway=pedestrian still be "more important" on the map at z13 than highway=service roads? Could we treat them the same? Or maybe as a compromise, pedestrian roads could be 1.5 px wide with no casing?

Should highway=pedestrian still be "more important" on the map at z13 than highway=service roads?

This is intentional as there are many cases of pedestrian roads relevant at this scale and for service roads it is fairly rare. Unfortunately it is merely my impression, it is possible that it is untrue for some/many regions - but some (#1964) complained that highway=pedestrian may form not displayed large-scale structures and AFAIK there are no similar complaints for highway=service.

Current rendering of that area

With the width changes and other changes, I think it's okay as is.
