The time is morning and the speaker is afoot, not in an automobile. He remarks that "no step had trodden black" the leaves that cover both roads.
"And sorry I could not travel both/ And be one traveler," he considers long and makes a choice. The road he selects is "grassy and wanted wear." He thinks someday he might come back and walk the other road, "Yet knowing how way leads on to way,/ I doubted if I should ever come back."
Clearly, the choice of road taken and not taken symbolizes an important, life-changing decision. The first kind that comes to mind is a choice of profession. Other possibilities might be whether or not (or whom) to marry. "Morning" suggests the speaker is in young adulthood, the age when such critical choices face most people. This symbolic interpretation of time of day to time of life is reasonable and has ample precedent. To insist, for instance, that "morning" is a pun on "mourning" would not be at all plausible since nothing else in the poem suggests that the speaker is sorrowing.
The concluding stanza pivots on the phrase "with a sigh." The speaker regrets that life's choices and decisions rule out alternatives that might be equally enriching and enjoyable. One can't do everything.
