I think we've heard all possible sides of this argument. You have three 
options:

1. Draw areas using same nodes as road - wrong because it suggests the 
area is larger than it really is.

2. Let areas end a few metres away from road - wrong because it suggests 
that there is something in between the road and the area when in fact 
there is nothing.

3. Draw roads as areas, either re-using the nodes of the adjoining 
landuse areas or using a multipolygon relation for landuse areas and 
road area (so they can share the border way which would remain 
untagged). Wrong because it defeats routing and puzzles newcomers.

So, whichever way you do it, it's wrong.

Now that we have that settled, can we continue? ;-)

Bye
