It will vary a lot per country and the available resources. In the Netherlands we are blessed to have both yearly 25cm satellite imagery, and municipal topography outline layers available. Those two, combined are really quite nice to have. In JOSM it looks like this: http://jeroenhoek.nl/temp/josm-dutch-bgt.png Measuring the width of a street (option 2) is often trivial with these; in this case it seems to be a neat 6m. I wonder if it is feasible to have JOSM render the width, optionally, as a sort of semi-transparent background beneath the way-line. It would make aligning these to the middle of the street even easier, and tagging the width less error prone too due to the visual feedback.
