Secondary county roads are usually 8' lanes. The increments in width are usually 2' intervals so the next levels ares 10', 12' and some cases 14'. As most cars are less than 7' wide with 6' being the width of mini-vans and mid-size sedans. As you don't normally realize this when you are driving it will look odd to you. Most modelers will make a road that looks right, not what is right. Strips are 4" wide and typical length is 10' with 15' spacing. A car traveling 60mph is going 66'/sec. Now you got the basic for speed estimation as well. Again, on your layout you'll probably feel better at what looks right and not what is right.
