Yes, I agree, but this guy is drawing the
margins, not just in the middle of the road, but
linked to the road, using the same points as the
road. Also, he did this even when the land use is
different on both sides of the road. It makes
changing the road and/or changing land use a real bitch.

done that way, there are ugly with
stripes/triangles between the roads and the
landuse when plotting the map at high zoom scale.
Landuse is drawn first, the road network is
drawn over it. So when the landuse is the same
on both sides of the road, there is no need to
draw more than one landuse. The road simply goes over it. No problem.
Suppose I'm drawing a (large) forest. Then I
draw landuse around the treeline and
roads/tracks/footways across the forest. No need
to draw many small forests. The same goes for
residential/commercial or industrial landuse.
Just my 2 cents,

Michel,
        Thanks! That seems very sensible.
        What he did, most often, was to
put the margins of land use down the middle of
the street. But, the street is not, for example, a residential area.
        Also, because he had the margins
of land use intersect with the street, you would
have to recreate the street if the land-use margins changed.

Non, I think this is wrong, either the landuse include the road or it
doesn't, but it would be strange if it included only half of it.
And with that you would end up with incorrect geometry if you have two
different landuse on each side of the road, if you use the road as the
border for the areas they will end up sharing a border, which they don't as
there is the road between them.
Of course, there are some case where it can be different, like country or
regional borders which may actually be defined as being in the center of the
road (I know it happens for rivers, I don't know if the case exists with
roads), but those are not modelled as areas and it seems to me more the
exception than the rule.
