In Massachusetts, there is essentially always a lot boundary adjacent to
a "highway" (which means a legal road).   Sometimes those lots are owned
by the government.   But there's a very clear notion of "being within
the the land allocated to the roadway" which is much wider than the
pavement.

So I think landuse=highway does make sense and should be about some
blend of land ownership, lot lines, etc.  I don't mean to say that
should be mandatory, but it's how it should be when it makes sense
contextually.
