Please read and follow the tagging rules on this linked document.
Decision tree, which tag to be used for roads

or
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_AfricaTag path rather than footway.
highway=path Paths are usually impassable for motorised vehicles. (However, African motorcyclists can sometimes do the most improbable stunts.) In order to mark a path as appropriate for cycling, add bicycle=yes. Never use path to mark an unpaved or unsealed road in built-up residential areas: Such roads should be tagged according to the local conventions (usually highway=residential if passable by vehicles and pedestrians, or highway=footway for pedestrian only where they can sometimes be separated from another parallel highway for vehicles).
----------------------------
How to measure the width of a road in IDeditor:
Zoom in as far as possible and draw a line between the shoulders of a trace and click
ctr +shift+M to shows measurements
click on the line between the nodes, and you get the width.

Hello again.
You added a layer tag to a path. Why?
Only when a highway crosses a waterway, and it is a bridge or a culvert, you can add a layer tag.
Best regards
