Yes, that's what I'm saying. Don't attach landuse and other real world 
representing polygons to the road centerline. We should not attach 
landuse=park,grass,cemetary,... to highway=road,primary,secundary, ...

Administrative borders are completely another case, they are MOSTLY 
imaginary lines that divide world to political regions...
