That is the width of the lanes on the road in question. In fact I would I would hazard to guess that a great many roads in St. Petersburg are of similar width. Yes, there are roads with wide outside lanes, or with "extra" wide lanes, but they seem to be the exception not the norm.
The norm appears to be at most 12' but usually closer to 8' in width.
