Roads in town hexesUnits moving along roads in a town hex pay the town movement cost. Moving into a town hex not along a road uses the town hex movement cost.
I suppose that is why we had a forum discussion so many years ago, which I can't find anymore.
Well I think we sorted out my confusion but that doesnt really help answer your question.
Personally, I would fall back on the edition of rules that the module you are playing was published with as it does seem to be a key point of balance.
I view the annotation in third as clarification that the roads do exist in 3rd edition, if units are said to be moving along them, even if they dont impact movement rate. But I think we have said just about everything one could say on that.
