On a serious note, I remember one day during rush hour I was by-passing traffic on I-285 by taking some backroads up just outside of Dunwoody. I think it was Dunwoody Club Dr and there was a Bicycle riding at about 30 - 35 MPH... was quite surprising...and difficult to pass on that street.
Well it's a Camaro, so that explains a lot.

The standard lane width is 12’.

Traffic calming efforts try to narrow below 12’ to slow down motorists in residential neighborhoods.

I’m sure that many streets are above, below that width.

The 2nd & 3rd from right lanes on I-85 are only 11’ (to accommodate HOV lane that was painted into existence). So the next time you’re uncomfortable on I-85 that might be one of the reasons.
