The green spaces ( and concrete or whatever) around a road are part of the infrastructure of a road. If the road wasn't there the land would have another use, such as farmland. So I believe this should be landuse=highway. It is being used as part of the surroundings of the highway. It doesn't

As I wrote on the Dutch forum, I see at least some leisure=park, leisure=garden, natural=grassfield, natural=water+water=pond on your photos. You loose a lot of information if you map them all with village_green. IMHO, a "village_green" outside the UK is a park, garden or recreation_ground in OSM
