[OSM-newbies] Betr.: Download city sample for simulation

[Martijn Verwijmeren]

Hi,

If you really need to know the width of the road, then you can save
yourself the trouble of learning how all this osm stuff works. While
someone theoretically can tag roads in osm with a width tag, I don't
know anyplace in the world where this is done consistently.

m.v.g.,
Cartinus
