The tag highway=track should be used for road which are primarily for
agricultural or forestry use.

It's also possible to use highway=service for narrow roads which are used
by 2-track (4+ wheel) motor vehicles.

However, if you are talking about a paved multi-use path, bicycle path or
footway which happens to be 3 or 4 meters wide and therefore a police car
or emergency vehicle can fit, generally these are still mapped as
highway=cycleway or =footway or =path if they are designed and designated
for pedestrians or bicycles.

(In towns and villages, wide streets for pedestrians are mapped as
highway=pedestrian. Usually emergency motor vehicles have access, and there
might be access for delivery trucks at some hours)

Do you have an example of a particular path or road which is debatable?
