Would you require in these cases that the road width is changing exactly 
linearly from start to end? If it doesn't change linearly, a router 
wouldn't be able to infer the point on a segment at which a wide vehicle 
is no longer able to pass, which I believe was your use case for the 
benefit over minimum width.

How many roads change widths exactly linearly? Not that I've paid much 
attention to it in the past, but it doesn't seem to be a very common 
occurrence?

Cheers,

Jens
