Many Narrow Roads are in India not advisible for cars, therefore we recommend to basically use the road type Street with a restriction set to "only allowed for motorcycles". Only if you're sure a car can drive through a specific alley, and you think including it in routing is a good idea, only then the road type Narrow road can be used.
