This should really go into a separate layer...

If consensus is that this data should not go in the database, I'd  
suggest creating it in JOSM and saving to a .osm file. Then if you  
want to create a map that shows the proposed highway, you could  
include this file in the input to the renderer.

Personally, I don't see any harm in adding the data to the OSM  
database for now -- it certainly shouldn't get rendered on the main  
maps, but that can be achieved by appropriate tagging.
