Hello All, 

I am interested in calculating the width of a street given geo-coordinates. The street width how much wide is the road.

Anyone has an idea, given we know the geo-coordinates (lat. and long)

Thanks and regards,

-Gautam

Take a pair of coordinates representing either side of the road, and
calculate the distance inbetween.

There is no Google service to supply that information.

Don't try to do that on a map, though. Maps are representations of
reality, and the depicted width of a road varies with scale. If you
can't actually visit the road in question to measure it, you might get
away with using a satellite view and calculating the distance across
it.
