I'm not convinced this is usually true. It maybe UK specific, but

It would be pretty silly to have a municiple boundary splitting the
centre of a road so different administrations were responsible for
maintaining the left & the right.
Like here [1]. The border is in the middle of the road,
Actually in the /middle/ of the road? I see no evidence of that. I'm
not suggesting Google Maps are definitive, but they show it to one
side.
Yes. In the middle of the road. See [1], "In het midden van de rotonde
stond gp230", translated: in the middle of the roundabout was gp230
located". The roundabout on the photo is located a bit more to the south
where there is not streetview. That part was actually physically
separated with a stone ridge, see the next photo.
Now it is a joint road.
GP231 is located when you take my SV link, turn around and go to the
next roundabout.
