Please please *please* use metres. Merkaartor has some code that
generates address interpolation ways using degrees, and it results in
the distance from streets depending on the street's orientation, and
looks plain ugly in any projection apart from latlon.

As for the distance itself, I'd prefer 14-17 metres for
highway=tertiary and below, and 20-23 metres for highway=secondary and
above, if such a distinction is possible. This is based on
observations from Toronto and area; I don't know about other cities.
