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.
