Description
A generic path. Paths for which all and any of highway=footway, highway=cycleway and highway=bridleway would be inappropriate or inadequate, yet usable for travel or navigation. Either not intended for any particular use, or intended for several different uses. Intended uses can be indicated with the access=designated keys. It is also used for hiking trails.

A UK bridleway could be tagged as:
Photos of several examples can be found at Tag:highway=path/Examples
Rendering
Not yet implemented.
A highway=path with any of horse=designated, bicycle=designated, foot=designated shall be rendered equally to a bridleway, a cycleway or a footway. There is a proposal to agree on a rendering scheme for any highway=path without one of those.
