6 and 1/4 inches would be 25 scale feet,about what a road is usually with shoulders, though they can be as wide as 50 feet, such as city streets with parking on both sides and side walks. If space is a problem down to 5 inches wide looks OK though. Really depends on what you are modeling and space available.

Chuck,

Just a temp layout guy's thought who has a limited size 14'x'14 Christmas layout: I make my roads wide enough for 2 vehicles. That's how I judge.
