Rather than find the actual scale width of a road, perhaps you might want to try a "selectively compressed" road. Line up the buildings that you plan to have near the road way, get a couple of vehicles and then on a piece of construction paper/poster board, play with the items until you hit a width that "looks right." Because the buildings we use are somewhat "selectively compressed" a road that is somewhat less than full width bordered by proportionally compressed shoulders, sidewalks etc, should look ok.
