Status: in use

width:carriageway is a more explicit tagging to indicate the width=* of the carriageway, i.e. the width of the road from kerb to kerb or edge to edge. Parking lanes on the carriageway are included, but sidewalks/pavements and other road components beyond the kerb are not. This tagging can be considered obsolete since the definition of width=* on roads has narrowed to the same meaning.

For the specification of road widths, see also the chapter width of streets.
