Note that Richard's is not a definitive answer (not that this one is either). My own interpretation is:
1. path: a route, 2-4 meters wide, possibly paved, possibly with a slightly wider shoulder. Too confined or narrow for a car to navigate safely, especially if there are other people using it (no passing room at all). 2. footway: same as a path, but no provision is made for any traffic besides pedestrian. (bridges may not be strong enough to support a horse, walls/fences crossed by stiles, narrow gates, etc.) 3. bridleway: same as a path, but no provision is made for any traffic besides equestrian. 4. cycleway: same as a path, but no provision is made for any traffic except bicycles. 5. track: a road which is not graded or paved, but created by people driving along it. It might be built to the extent that trees have been removed and grass or brush cleared. At its simplest, it is just a pair of wheel ruts. Definitely intended for four-wheeled motor vehicles, though it may be risky to drive a normal car along it.
