Road
misleading paths symbolize delusion. To deviate from a path is to deviate from the truth. Small deviating paths from a road symbolize bida’ for Allah says: “This is my way which is straight, therefore follow it! And don’t follow the [många] other roads because they will lead you away from His path. [6:153]

[Khalil Shahin]
Seeing someone walking upright straight and steady on a straight path symbolizes that the person is steady on the straight path of Allah, if he walks small paths away from the straight path it symbolizes that he is deviating from the right path. Anyone who is faced with a choice of paths to the right and left and then makes a choice is from the people of the path he has chosen. (the people of the right side are the pious and the people of the left side are the sinful)
