        <div dir="ltr">For what i understand, the landuse=grass is
          mostly a "landcover=grass" tag which was never properly named
          (and thus it is used like that). The surface=grass alone
          doesn't mean much in OSM as the surface tag is (i think) only
          a secondary tag (adding information to other object like
          highway=* ). 
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>For the original question, it seems indeed to be less
            accepted to connect the landuse to the highway! And i find
            that it is so much easier to edit when it is not connected
            to the highway (or to the landuse on the other side) as it
            can just be directly moved without splitting first. If you
            want to map the area of an highway there is the proposal of
            tag "area:highway=*" that can be used but is not rendered at
            the moment (see here : <a
              href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area"
              moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area</a>).
            But it could in the future if the usage become more
            prevalent.</div>

            <p>For what it is worth (and I do not think much of that,
              myself!): the landuse tag is one of the most confusing and
              most misused.</p>
            <p>In my self-assigned job of mapping aerodromes, and
              improving on them, I often see tags like<br>
            </p>
            <p>landuse=grass</p>
            <p>and that seems incorrect to me, it ought to be
              surface=grass rather<br>
            </p>
            <p>Correct usage of landuse includes (in my very personal
              appreciation!) landuse=industrial, landuse=military,
              landuse=commercial, landuse=recreational and more such.
              What that means to the mapping of highways is beyond my
              comprehension; and, to be frank, beyond my interest. I
              only wanted to give my opinion on the general usage of the
              landuse= tag. Perhaps the best application of the landuse
              tag to highways - but also to railways, canals,
              aerodromes, &c, would be landuse=infrastructure or
              landuse=public_infrastructure</p>
