Well I don't necessarily want to tag roads as areas, I just want to map the fact that something (e.g. a forest) extends exactly up to the road. If the road is 0 metres wide (or "as wide as the renderer wants it to be"), then the only way to map this is to re-use the road centreline as a forest border. If the road had a left and right shoulder line then I could use that to delineate the forest border. It all boils down to whether the forest border and the road are independent of each other or whether you simply wanted to express "the forest stops at the road" (which is often the case for landuse or administrative areas, less often for forests).
