[Tagging] landcover=asphalt ; landuse=highway

[Bryan Housel]

From what I remember people are already using  `area:highway=*` for detailed street area mapping.
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/area%3Ahighway <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/area:highway>

I would think `landuse=highway` would work kind of like `landuse=railway`, used to map a right of way corridor, not the actual asphalt surface.

Thanks, Bryan
