That would be a lot easier than bulldozing and applying a new road, but doesn't explain what happens to the buildings zoned in those areas.
This is a little misleading.

There 24m and 48m wide roads in SimCity.

24m roads are the dirt road and the three street densities.

The dirt road and low density street each have two lanes.

The medium density street and high density street each have four lanes.

You can use the road upgrade tool to upgrade from dirt road all the way to high density street (they all take up the same amount of space on the map).

48m roads are the medium density avenue, high density avenue, and the high density avenue with tram tracks.

The medium density avenue has 4 lanes.

The high density avenue has 6 lanes (then the next level up is 6 lanes plus tram tracks).

You can use the road upgrade tool to upgrade from medium density avenue on up to the high density with tram tracks.

However, you cannot upgrade a 24m road to a 48m road. It must be demolished and rebuilt (because it physically takes up more room on the map).

Hope that helps.

You need to plan out your roads at the beginning or just be fine with some liberal use of the bulldozing tool later on.
