No, that isn't the question, and no I don't treat them as roads for movement, except for when moving from a town hex to a road connected to said town hex. For example: I would consider, on board 2, moving from hex 0408 to 0309 to be rad movement, but hex 0308 to 0309 would not be.

Artwork depicted in towns/villages are not roads. They are towns.
The question was, should a path through the town be considered part of the road control objective? The rules imply it isn't, the objective statement may differentiate, logic (as opposed to game situations) suggests they should. The rules as written say the road isn't there. Next game session is Thursday evening MDT.
The line about roads not existing in towns seems to be one of the nuanced changes in 4th edition. Third edition didnt include it, and even the annotation in third is discussing the movement rate when moving along roads in towns, pointing to them existing.
Based on that, if you are playing 4th edition I guess you wouldnt need to control any of the town? In 3rd edition you would?
