Thanks for the answer.
My problem is that I just have the roadparts and nothing to relate them to. I
would like to create polygons with their borders between the roads so every
possible point inside the polygon share the same closest road. But if it isnt
possible I will have to build a raster of rectangels or just points and use the
method you suggested on them.

The case is that I need to find the closest road from every point in the
terrain. The roads are defined in "roadparts". The very best thing would be to
get polygons around every roadpart which I could use on other data to bind it
to the right road.>
