Narrative:

We were cleared to taxi to parking via taxiway Y. But many jets were in line to take off on runway 30L. We were holding behind a jet. Ground instructed us to use taxiway Z and if there was enough room to go around an air carrier jet, which we started to do, but saw that we could go on the service road. Before this incident occurred, we went back to hold behind the air carrier jet. We did not go on the service road but it could have been a chain of events of taxiway accident with other aircraft and/or vehicle. We have tried to follow ground instruction to accommodate the busy traffic. The corrective action was to avoid service road and to hold just behind jet.
