Good question. The wiki simply says "width of a way". So it's
impossible to say without a more detailed definition, or knowledge of
what others have been using it for.

I would *guess* that, for a highway=*, it should refer to the "maximum
legally usable width by a vehicle", or something like that. So that
would mean kerb-to-kerb width, unless it's legal to ride on the
sidewalk in that locale.

You could, of course, propose new tags: width:tarmac=* and
width:clearance=* (or something), if you want to get more specific.
