These tags has already been put forth in the landcover proposal [1], but
I was just pointed to [2] where a user complained (rightfully) that the
shape of the road on OSM mismatched the shape of the actual road.

As a consequence, I think we should add the `landuse=highway` in the
list of officially-defined tags, especially given it is already used
~10k times.

And encourage putting the relevant polygon inside the associatedStreet,
because that would make sense.

And potentially also add landcover=asphalt, because why not?

FTR, google maps already has a similar feature, that is visible eg. at [3]

What do you think about this?
