It's usually not the middle of the road as it exists now, unless there have been no changes, however slight, to the road alignment. Pages 28 and 31 of http://web.archive.org/web/20031206194418/http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/refdata/sldiag/viewindx.pdf illustrate this rather well.
Cool. Located here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.820144&lon=-75.162305&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF
We don't know from this alone whether the boundary is defined to follow the road centerline, offset a certain distance from it, or exactly at the position shown, without regard for where the road is. That would be no different if it happened to coincide with the centerline of the road.
