 > > v.centerline is meant for bundles of lines that have more of less the
 same trajectory and for which you want to define one "mean" line. As shown
 in the examples in the man page this could be two lines representing the
 riverbanks, or more lines representing the variance of trajectories along
 a more or less similar direction, such as lines of flight of airplanes
 above a specific area.

 After importing and zooming I can see what you mean. In order to get the
 centerlines of each of the highway pieces, you would have to iterate
 through them and apply v.centerline to each of them as v.centerline in its
 current state takes all lines in the map at once.
