      My English is not that good. I thought a path and a road was the same thing. A vehicle can drive there.

        A path and a road are similar, yes. However, an impasse is something that is not passable, which is why the original commenter was confused.

        Also, the word impasse is more frequently used as a metaphor than its literal definition. Something like “The arguing couple was at an impasse, neither budging in their position.”

          Thank you. I changed the title so it would be less confusing.
