    I did a bunch around me with street complete until it started asking the width of the roads. Is that actually useful?

    I started filling in all the house names because nothing here is numbered. It hasn’t improved delivery drivers finding us 🤣

      In the UK it’s common for country lanes to have a speed limit of 60 MPH, while only being metres (9 ft) wide. Including road widths is useful for some routing engines for both normal cars, and HGVs.

      As someone who has worked in the geospatial industry, yeah, width of roads is useful eventually. But probably only for land development or simply understanding what a road is.
