2 senator: the search for those very roads is only needed when the "pathfinding" skill is present, because without it, the hero chooses the shortest path to the destination himself, and in this case, it will be the road itself. But overall, the conclusion is very useful ;-)
And the road is not always the shortest path; it all depends on the hero's further direction of movement after he picks up the object on the map. Sometimes, going to the road will cost more than moving past it...
