Hello Peter,

this isn't an easy question. It depends on a lot of different Factors, copper thickness, current on the different rails, manufacturer design rules, internal/external Layer, etc.
For the most Hobby Applications, the copper thickness will be 35um / 1 oz, 2 Outer Layers

A Trace with 14mill will be good for <= 1A
36mil <= 1.5A
58mil <= 2A
