Abstract: We study a natural generalization of covering projections defined in terms of unique lifting properties. A map $p:EoX$ has the "continuous path-covering property" if all paths in $X$ lift uniquely and continuously (rel. basepoint) with respect to the compact-open topology. We show that maps with this property are closely related to fibrations with totally path-disconnected fibers and to the natural quotient topology on the homotopy groups. In particular, the class of maps with the continuous path-covering property lies properly between Hurewicz fibrations and Serre fibrations with totally path-disconnected fibers. We extend the usual classification of covering projections to a classification of maps with the continuous path-covering property in terms of topological $p{i}_1$: for any path-connected Hausdorff space $X$, maps $EoX$ with the continuous path-covering property are classified up to weak equivalence by subgroups $Hleqp{i}_1(X,x_0)$ with totally path-disconnected coset space $p{i}_1(X,x_0)/H$. Here, "weak equivalence" refers to an equivalence relation generated by formally inverting bijective weak homotopy equivalences.
