The only reason we started discussing about the width of vehicles was a recommendation for "narrow roads with two lanes" to replace the lanes=1.5: if someone can not or does not want to measure the width of the road, we need some recommend value for est_width. If we agree on, that most cars have a width of something around 2 meters, a good value for the estimated(!) width of "a road with two lanes, which is so narrow, that vehicles most slow down to pass each other" is about 4 meters - therefore the recommendation to use est_width=4. Is everyone fine with that? I would also like to get some more opinions on either 1) est_width or 2) width and source:width=estimated should be used.
