It's not just width but height and length too.
Length is a problem when cars start overhanging pedestrian pavements because they are parked in off-road spaces that aren't long enough.
Height is a general problem for pedestrian safety and streetscape impact.
I'd agree that the mega-SUV type things are the main issue and should be the priority for doing something about. But the gradual expansion of "normal" cars has a kind of insidious effect and I think there should be some kind of pricing-based incentive to keep the average below whatever hard upper limits get set. Road pricing linked to vehicle volume, something like that.
Vandalising the portions of vehicles that overhang pedestrian areas should also be legalised and encouraged.
