[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Scale bar in bottom corner too small to be useful (Issue #5114)

[VolkerRaab]

Thanks to @tomhughes:  programming is probably out of scope and I am not asking for any.
As opposed to programming my first suggestion (as I understand it) is essentially changing one parameter for the existing map display: the length of the scale bar.
If I want to (roughly) know the distance between New York and Washington I open the map and zoom in to see the distance is "three thumbs". But then the scale bar is too short to convert "three thumbs" into miles...
Most of the times for a quick info this is enough and fiddling with routing, start and end points and the question of car/train/bicycle and the routing engine much too inconvenient...
