narrow lane

Slim road between

A narrow lane is a small road, typically in rural or historic areas, wide enough for only one vehicle or requiring careful passing.

The phrase emphasizes restricted width: We drove down a narrow lane between hedgerows.

In bowling, a narrow lane describes the mental challenge of precision rather than physical space.
