narrow road

Slim path forward

A narrow road is one with limited width, often allowing only single-lane traffic or requiring vehicles to pull aside when meeting others.

The phrase appears in religious and philosophical contexts—the narrow road to salvation—where it represents a difficult but righteous path, contrasted with the broad way that leads to destruction.
