The average width of a car lane is 9 feet which is equivalent to  2.7 meters. However, this may vary in some cases like highways  which are 3.7 meters or 12 feet wide.
The total width of this two-lane road, shoulder edge to shoulder edge, is approximately 38 feet in width. Each lane is 12 feet wide. The road shoulders are 8 feet and 6 feet wide, these vary quite a bit in width. The white striped lines separating the lanes from the shoulders are 6 inches wide. The double yellow lines are between 5 and 6 inches wide each. I was surprised they varied this much.
