In the New Forest Freemap does this , using a custom tagging scheme newforest_pathtype=narrow|path|track|gravel|cycleway, and renders each. Might be an idea to try and come up with a tag which makes this universal, needs to be more general than surface=paved|unpaved to distinguish between the many different widths of paths.
