It's not the width of the roads. It's about

- parking mandates that push everything very far apart because parking takes up a lot of space

- zoning restrictions that necessitate distant travel because your home is in a different sector of the city as your place of work, the grocery store, and places of leisure

- the disassembly of public transport systems after the war

- street design that makes it simply dangerous to travel on foot or on a bicycle, and extremely slow, because cars receive priority at all junctions

etc. etc.
