Make Pedestrian Boardwalk / Non-routable Pedestrian Path the default pedestrian segment type
As the map matures and junior editors look for ways to contribute to the map that is increasingly locked down, I am seeing a lot more use of the pedestrian segment types. The overwhelming majority are entered as Walking Trail (Routable Pedestrian Path) as these editors do not understand the implications this has on routing. As the vast majority of cases for pedestrian segment types calls for non-routable paths, I would like to see newly created pedestrian segments start out as Pedestrian Boardwalk instead of Walking Trail.

Very much in agreement that making pedestrian paths R3+ will save a lot of headaches.

I'd take this a step further and say that in almost all cases, R1s don't understand the impact of adding walking trails and probably most early R2s don't understand walking trails. I would argue walking trails should be rank locked at 3+ by default, potentially with country level control to potentially limit it higher
