[Tagging] "width" on streets: Time for a recommendation

[Jan Michel]

I expect the "width" of a way to be the actual width of the object it 
represents.
This obviously changes depending on the mapping style applied, e.g.

- if it's a highway with sidewalk and cycleway tags, it's the width of 
all of it

- if it's just a road with footways mapped as separate ways next to it, 
then it's the width of just the road.

If you want to tag how much space there is for some kind of vehicle 
moving in some direction, there are the specific width tags like 
width:lanes, sidewalk:width, cycleway:width, shoulder:width, verge:width
and so on.
