I am not sure if you are asking a philosophical question or a question about 
definitions… I’ll go with a definition.

Without going to a dictionary, I would define an alley (or alleyway) as a 
narrow connecting passage. Not usually intended for modern vehicles. So, a 
passageway between two streets or from a street to a courtyard, often giving 
access to residences, to the rear of businesses, etc. In some U.S. cities, 
houses front on the streets (usually with some front lawn area), and the back 
of the property abuts a shared alleyway which provides access to the parking 
area or garages behind the homes. 

A couple of examples which I think might have fit this category {these from Old 
City Jerusalem}
