After the recent getty(8) changes w(1) will now show root logins on the same ttys if you use su(1). However, after logging out the root user is not removed from the w(1) (or who(1) for that matter).
Example output from w(1) where tty p0 and p4 have been used to login with root, and currently logged out while p2 is still logged in.
