Narrowest roads that are marked with two or more lanes

The Aurora Bridge in Seattle crams 6 lanes into 57 feet of deck space, making for some very narrow lanes. Buses and trucks have to straddle the outer two, and there's no room for a proper barrier (leading to several cross-over crashes).

Since the OP started off with a Mexican road, here is one I regularly drive.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Any Mass Pike exit ramp.
No.  If anything, the ramp from I-90 EB to I-91/US 5 is overly wide, just as one example.

Nothing narrow about the ramps at Exit 2...at MA 32...

Maybe within I-95, but definitely not enough to say they're all narrow.

The Grand Island bridges on I-190 between Buffalo and Niagara Falls have the least margin for error of any multi-lane bridge I've ever been on. A true nail-biter for first time drivers!

The narrowest significant road that comes to mind off the top of my head is the old, now-demolished, Goethals Bridge, as well as the Outerbridge Crossing. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure whether I've ever driven over the Outerbridge myself (as opposed to riding over it as a passenger, which I have done umpteen times), but I certainly drove over the old Goethals Bridge. The 10-foot-wide lanes made for a very unpleasant drive if there were large trucks around.

Alewife Brook Parkway -- MA 16's another good one.

MA 6A/28 in Orleans.  US-6 in Eastham used to be just as narrow until a 1982 widening project.

The Nacimiento Ferguson Road near CA 1 has a really narrow two lane for some reason.  I think it is meant to be a passing zone on the first climb/final descent from/to the coast:

I-55

Most MS-7xx routes. Also the access road form US-60 to Mud River Baptist Church in Barboursville, WV, which has 9' lanes.

Multi-lane roundabouts are an abomination to mankind.

Back before AL 35 was 4 laned southeast of Scottsboro, AL, it was a 2 lane and that old bridge was a true nail biter before the road was twinned.

If we're counting bridges, The Hood River Bridge across the Columbia between OR and WA comes to mind. Lanes are 9 ft 4.75 in according to their website. I drive it a few times a year, certainly not a walk in the park, though I've never had an issue with it. GSV Link

The Grace Bridge (old US 17) over the Cooper River in Charleston. Used to be one lane each way until the 1966 Pearman Bridge opening. With like 9-10' lanes. And big trucks crossing all the time.

By NY parkway standards those are pretty typical lane widths (around 10'). There are sections of the Bronx River Parkway and Jackie Robinson Parkway that are noticably much narrower, the former with barely 8 foot wide lanes.

I think this view shows just how tiny the Jackie Robinson really is quite well.

True, but look at the right lane in my example. I know it's probably just the bridge/guardrail, but that does not look 10' to me.

So, every single time a chunk of concrete crumbles off the Jersey barrier, does it cause vehicle damage?  I don't see much opportunity to swerve around it.
