Very NO! 
(There might be a joke in your suggestion, but if so, I don't get it! 
)
I was going to ask what Street View had to say about it, but decided to check in case there was an amazing duplicate road there... I haven't studied every metre of your road, but what I looked at doesn't look similar to mine.
If you tried driving a big truck up my hill you would find the way narrow-ish but broad.

Not found the road as I’m not sure what area to start in. Been looking near Standedge. But have got distracted looking at Pennine Way on OS maps. A long distance walk I did back in the 80s.
I presume that footpath that splits isn’t a named path?

it's north of Huddersfield and west of Otley... which only leaves the North Pennies, Forest of Bowland, Yorkshire Dales, Howgills, Lake District. East Lancs, Pendle and everywhere in between
There's also that 'narrow-ish but broad' clue that's gone right over my head.

The type of stone used in the walls should be a big clue. The old walls that is, not the new ones round the bend at the top.
The direction clue consists of 2 equally important statements.

Which eventually meets aroad which is wider after a descent from the summit.

And I wasn't feeling particularly energetic the day I first rode up that hill so the steep gradient at the top made it a slog.

If nobody gets it by this evening I will clarify the clues for you but then it would only take about 5 minutes with an OS map or OSM!
